Xante 3 Series warranty Host Setup, NetBEUI buffer has a time limitation of 3 1/2 minutes. This

• NetBEUI allows only one PC to send a print job at a time.

•There is a time limit for each NetBEUI job to be processed by the printer and for printing to begin. Once printing begins, the printer cannot accept jobs from other sources.

•Such things as printer errors, jams, open covers, etc. can cause the print job to be lost. For example, an error must be cleared within 3 1/2 minutes after the NetBEUI job begins. Once started, data flow must be constant.

•The NetBEUI buffer has a time limitation of 3 1/2 minutes. This

is crucial when dealing with large, complex files which can be lost because of the time out.

•NetBEUI can be affected by Microsoft network protocol internal timeouts. In this case, if the printer repeatedly stalls due to a large job, these internal timeouts may cause the PC to abort the print job.

You can minimize some of the NetBEUI constraints just listed by installing an internal disk drive and setting the NetBEUI’s Spool setting to True. This provides free disk space for print job storage before sending the job to be processed, and allows the fully compiled job to be sent from this drive to the printer as a complete unit. In most cases, it guarantees a successful download to the printer.

NetBEUI, originally designed for connection between a server and client, works on the principle that once a connection is made, the sender can transmit the data to the printer. The printer becomes a host PC on the network.
