Novell NetWare 4.x Configuration

The GCC Elite 21 printer includes standard support for NetWare 4.x 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.

Bindery vs. NDS Setup

Novell's NetWare 4.0x can operate in two modes: NetWare Directory Services (NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The printer may be configured to operate with Bindery Services mode only, or to operate under NDS. When configured under NDS, the printer will also service older file servers operating in bindery mode. This section contains instructions for installing the printer in either mode.
