Intermate 100 Network Destination Option, Requirements, Brushed-up Functionality and Terminology

Network Destination Option: Requirements

19. Network Destination Option

“Brushed-up” Functionality and Terminology

On servers running release levels 2111 and higher, the main path is “Configurations > Output Control > Network Destination Option” and the configuration page is called [Network Destina- tion Option].

The terminology used for the Network Destination Option was also changed in order to make it easier for new users to under- stand and exploit NDO. Users of older print servers should find it easy to spot which terms “translate” to which.

19.1. Requirements

You can configure and save the configurations for up to four “Network Destinations”.

G22-based print servers: You will not be prevented from saving NDO configurations if you have no NDO key. However, all printed output will be routed to the local printer. In addition, an error will be written to the System Log (see ““Status > System Log”” [page 176]).

Recommended Features for Network Target Printers

The print server retrieves printer status information from the Network Target Printer through SNMP. For this to function properly, a network printer must support the status information nodes defined in the Printer MIB (RFC1759) and some host information nodes of the Host Resources MIB (RFC1518).

If the target printer lacks these features, printer halts (Paper jam, Paper out, Off-line etc.) at a Network Target Printer will be interpreted by the print server as “busy” until a user has fixed the problem.
