Novell NetWare

NOTE: Novell AppleTalk only recognizes the printer when it is in PostScript mode. Raster mode printing cannot be accommodated. You must set up an IPX queue to support both PostScript and Raster mode printing.

Novell NetWare IPX - Printer Parameters

You may set up or modify network printing parameters over Novell NetWare IPX for frametype and preferred server. Frametype is set up from the printer’s front display/control panel and by downloading a PostScript command file to set up a preferred server.

It should not be necessary to modify these parameters from factory defaults of Frametype = AutoSelect and Preferred Server

=Undefined. This function is provided for efficiency in varying customer environments.

Refer to “Network Printer Parameters” for information on setting up all printer parameters for the various protocols.

Creating and Editing the IPX KSETUP Configura- tion File

Some procedures in this section vary, depending on whether you are running Novell NetWare 3.x or 4.x. Complete the procedures appropriate for your site.

You must create a configuration file using the KSETUP.EXE program from the Novell Utilities diskette. This configuration file should reside on only one file server. You can modify the file as necessary to change the queues or servers that the printer services.

Upon startup, the printer tries to read a configuration file from the available servers. If a primary server is defined, it will start with that server. It looks in the \login\kodak directory for a file named kxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the Network Interface Card’s Ethernet address.

NOTE: For printers in PostScript mode, make a test print; and make a note of the hardware address of the installed Network Interface Card.
