Queue-based Printing Methods
|
| The following overview explains the advantages and limitations of the |
|
| two supported |
Print Server Mode | The AXIS 5400 logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly polls the print | |
|
| queues for print jobs. In this fashion, the AXIS 5400 emulates a |
|
| NetWare print server, which is a workstation running PSERVER. It |
|
| provides high printing speed with low network load and is the |
|
| recommended mode for medium to large sized networks. Each print |
|
| server in PSERVER mode takes one NetWare user license. |
Advantages | • High performance: up to 1 Mbyte/s. | |
Limitations | • In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user | |
|
| licence for each AXIS 5400 to file server link. |
Remote Printer Mode | The AXIS 5400 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 5400 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. | |
|
| • Higher network load. |
