The printer’s NetWare interface

The printer’s NetWare interface supports the Print Server (PSERVER) operating mode. Under the NetWare networking model, print jobs are stored in queues (directories) on a file server. A print server takes print jobs from the queues and sends them to printers. In your Tektronix printer, the print server resides within the internal interface of the printer, so the print server and the printer are one. The printer logs in to a file server using a login connection to service specified queues.

Bindery mode and NDS (NetWare Directory Services) supported

The printer’s NetWare interface supports Bindery and NDS connection modes separately or simultaneously.

Supported NetWare versions

The printer’s NetWare interface has been tested with NetWare versions 3.12, 4.1, and

4.11.It should work with any NetWare server that uses NetWare’s QMS (Queue Management System) to manage and service print queues. These servers include 80286-, 80386-, and 80486-based servers running other versions of NetWare (for example, versions 2.15, 2.2, 3.0, 3.11, 4.0), DOS and OS/2-based systems, VMS servers, and servers running UnixWare. The PhaserShare NetWare interface is not compatible with systems running NetWare Lite.

■NCP (NetWare Core Protocol)

■IPX (Internet Packet Exchange)

■SPX (Sequential Packet Exchange)
