Novell NetWare

With NetWare, the printer operates as a print server and reads requests from NetWare servers. The printer can service 16 queues on 16 file servers and poll successive queues every second.

You can print to the printer with standard Novell print utilities such as NPRINT or from Microsoft Windows applications.

Novell NetWare IPX - Overview

To use Novell IPX, you must create a configuration file using the KSETUP.EXE utility included on the Novell utilities diskette.

If you have more than 20 servers, we recommend that you specify a primary server (server with KSETUP file) so that the Network Interface Card can do a more efficient search for the server/KSETUP file.

The default frametype setting is AUTOSELECT. You may have to specify a specifi IPX FrameType from the printer’s front control/ display panel if you have servers using different frametypes.

Complete the remaining server and queue configuration steps using the Novell PCONSOLE utility.

When using Novell IPX, one user license is required because the printer/Network Interface Card logs into the server being serviced.

Novell NetWare AppleTalk - Overview

To use Novell’s AppleTalk Print Services (ATPS), an ATPS.CFG file must be edited appropriately to define an AppleTalk printer name and corresponding zone.

Novell AppleTalk Advantages over Novell IPX

The use of Novell ATPS does not require configuration steps using PCONSOLE, steps to specify a primary server, or steps to specify a frametype. ATPS does not require a user license, and performance differences between the use of IPX and AppleTalk are negligible. Refer to the documentation for AppleTalk, Novell NetWare for more information.

The disadvantage of using Novell AppleTalk over Novell IPX is that you cannot print in Raster mode using ATPS over the Novell server. Only Macintosh systems can printer in Raster mode using AppleTalk.
