Setting Up - NetWare

Advantages

• High performance: up to 1 Mbyte/s

Limitations

• In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user licence for

 

each Axis Network Print Server to file server link.

Remote Printer Mode

The Axis Network Print Server acts as Remote Printer for PSERVER.NLM running

 

on the NetWare file server, or to a dedicated workstation running PSERVER.EXE.

 

In this fashion, the Axis Network Print Server emulates a workstation running

 

the NetWare remote printer software RPRINTER, or NPRINTER. This mode is

 

only recommended for small networks where the number of NetWare user

 

licences is a major issue.

Advantages

• NetWare user licences are not required.

Limitations

• Lower performance, typically 20 - 70 kbytes/s for NLM and higher network

 

load.

Using Novell Utilities

After installing the Axis Network Print Server into the NetWare environment,

 

you can manage your Axis Network Print Server, using either Novell’s NetWare

 

Administrator, or PCONSOLE.

NetWare Administration

Some useful features provided by the NetWare Administrator are described in

 

more detail below:

 

Printer Status

 

The Printer Status menu, detailed below, shows the status of an active print job

 

serviced by an Axis Network Print Server network print server. It displays

 

detailed information concerning the active job including, Print Queue, print job

 

description, size of print file, percentage of job completed, etc. You can also

 

abort or pause the print job from this menu.

Notification

You can use the NetWare Administrator to enable or disable status notification messages for printers connected to the AXIS 540+/AXIS 560, e.g. Busy, Off-line, Out of paper, Paper jam, etc. You can also add or remove print job owners and administrators from the list of persons to be notified.

Print Layout

You can view installed AXIS 540+/AXIS 560 and their relative print queues for any NetWare Organizational Unit. You can also display summary information by right-clicking on the printer object you want to examine.
