PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

Retry count Determine whether the DocuPrint NPS system supports a print production environment, or whether the system remains unattended. Once you determine the environment the DocuPrint NPS supports, you must decide the number of attempts the system makes to print a job before a sequencer restart causes the job to be held for intervention.

•If the DocuPrint NPS supports a print production environment, you may want to specify a large number or zero as the number of attempts the system makes to retry a print job. (Zero indicates an infinite number of retries.)

•If the DocuPrint NPS is unattended, you may want to specify only 1 or 2 retries to print a job.

Novell network information

The Novell network information you provide to your service representative is based on whether you configure the DocuPrint as a print server or a remote printer. Refer to the “DocuPrint NPS on a Novell network” appendix of this guide and your Novell network administrator for assistance, if necessary.

DocuPrint as a print server (PSERVER)

Provide the following information to the service representative if you configure DocuPrint NPS as a print server on the Novell network (for further information, refer to the “Installation” chapter of this guide):

•

•

•

•

•

Novell file server name—indicates the name of the file server that the DocuPrint NPS services. The file server must have the appropriate print server definition and the queue to be serviced.

Print server name—indicates the name used by the DocuPrint NPS print server. A print server definition with this name must exist on the file server that the DocuPrint NPS services. A single printer (type Remote Other/Unknown) must be defined for this print server and the queue (refer to “Queue name to service” below).

Password for the print server—refers to a password you may have added in the print server definition (using PCONSOLE). It is not necessary to add a password to a print server, and there is no default password.

Queue name to service—refers to the name of the queue from which the DocuPrint print server accepts jobs. The queue must be defined on the file server that the DocuPrint NPS services.

The single printer that must be defined for the print server (as stated above) must also be defined to service the specified queue.

Form names—distinct form names for DocuPrint NPS that map to the DocuPrint virtual printer names.
