Novell NetWare 2.x & 3.x Configuration

The GCC Elite 21 printer includes standard support for NetWare peer-to-peer networking. Before configuring the NetWare server to access the printer, however, NetWare support must be enabled on the printer, as follows:

•Start the printer and wait for the LCD display to read Ready.

•Press either Menu key until Input/Output appears.

•Press either Item key until NetWare appears.

•Press either Value key until Enable appears. Press Select.

•The display will read “Restart Printer?” Press either Item key to select Restart Now, then press Select. The printer will restart, and NetWare will be enabled.

Also, before starting the NetWare server configuration, you should print out a Network Status Page from the printer. This page provides information that is helpful during the configuration. The page is printed as follows:

•Press either Menu key until Information appears.

•Press either item button until Print Net Status appears.

•Press Select to print the page.

The NetWare 2.x or 3.x server can then be configured as follows:

1.Login as Supervisor and start PCONSOLE.

2.Define the Print Queue.

•If a Print Queue already exists for the printer, skip to step 3.

•Select Print Queue Information from the Available Options menu.

•Press INSERT, type a name for the new queue to be serviced by the NIC and press ENTER. Press ESCAPE to go to the Available Options Menu.

3.Define the Print Server

•Select Print Server Information from the Available Options menu.

•Press INSERT, type the Print Server name and press ENTER. The default Print Server name is ‘GCC_’ followed by a six-digit serial number (e.g., GCC_123456). The Novell Print Server Name can be found on the network status page under Novell Network Information.
