Novell Netware IPX
IPX is used with Novell NetWare. The OkiLAN 7120e supports Novell 3, 4,
5 and 6, and allows print jobs to be directed to the appropriate Novell print
queue. Please refer to the relevant section of this manual for additional
information.
NetBEUI Protocol
NetBEUI is a protocol that was designed for use on small workgroups or
LANs. Within Windows, NetBEUI is used for file and printer sharing
between computers. It provides a simple method of printing but the
protocol does have limitations and is not as robust as TCP/IP or IPX.
Typically it is employed in small or home networks.
Network Printer Settings
There are three configurable items under NetBEUI within the printer.
These can be configured using the standard set-up utility described
earlier.
1Although the workgroup name can be changed, it is recommended that it
remains as PrintServer.
Although there are some differences in configuration options between the
various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing using NetBEUI is
the same.
