Oki C9500 V2 manual Novell Netware IPX, NetBEUI Protocol, Network Printer Settings, Computer Name

NOVELL NETWARE IPX

IPX is used with Novell NetWare. The printer 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 in Chapter 1.

Computer Name:	Name assigned to the printer
Workgroup:	PrintServer1
Comment:	User definable description

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.

Please ensure the NetBEUI protocol has been installed in Windows. This can be confirmed by checking the network settings. If NetBEUI has not been installed please refer to the section below.

The relevant Windows installation CD-ROM may be required and you should follow the on-screen dialogue box prompts.
