About modes

You can choose from Print Server, Remote Printer, or Standby mode. We recommend that you select the Print Server mode unless the number of users exceeds the limit.

Features of the modes are described below.

Print Server mode (NDS/Bindery Print Server):

High-speed printing with direct printing

Use of the NetWare user account

Ability to connect up to 8 file servers simultaneously

Ability to register up to 32 print queues

Remote Printer mode:

A NetWare user account is not required.

A print server is necessary to control the remote printer.

Ability to attach up to 16 printers for NetWare 3.1x, and up to 255 for NetWare 4.1x or later.

Note:

When you turn on the printer, the user account is temporarily accessed in Remote Printer mode. If there is no room in the user account, turn on the printer before connecting the client to the network.

Standby mode (factory default mode):

The Standby mode is the default mode. With this mode, all NetWare related functions stop. Use Standby mode when you are not using the interface card in a NetWare environment.
