Configuring IPX frame types

To use IPX/SPX protocol networks (for example, Novell NetWare), the format of the network communication frames must be specified for the printer. In most cases, you can keep the Auto setting. However, you can manually set the frame type format, if required. Take the following step to change the frame type format:

1Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK.

2Press the Scroll buttons until NetWare appears and press OK.

3Press the Scroll buttons until the desired frame type appears.

Auto: Automatically senses and limits the frame type to the first one detected.

802.2: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2 with IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.

802.3: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.

Ethernet II: Limits the frame type to IPX over Ethernet Frames. All others will be discarded.

SNAP: Limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.

Off: Disables the IPX/SPX protocol.
