PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

DocuPrint NPS as a remote printer (RPRINTER)

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

•Novell print server name—indicates the name of the print server to which the DocuPrint will connect. An advertising print server with this name must be running on the Novell internet.

•Printer name(s) to service—refers to the name(s) of the printers defined for the Novell print server. Virtual printers should be defined with these names after DocuPrint NPS installation is complete. These printers should be defined as type Remote Other/Unknown.

IPX internal network number Specify the network number for the internal IPX network in the DocuPrint server. This number must be globally unique within the NetWare internet to which the DocuPrint NPS is connected. (Do not assign a number that is used by other machines to which the DocuPrint NPS will be connected.)

LAN network number Specify the network number for the cabling system to which the DocuPrint NPS is connected, for example the Ethernet or Token Ring segment.

Network framing type Specify the network framing type used for IPX/SPX communication by DocuPrint NPS. There are eight options:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

ETHERNET__II

ETHERNET__802.3

ETHERNET__802.2

ETHERNET__SNAP

TOKENRING

TOKENRING__SNAP

FDDI

FDDI__SNAP.

Choose a framing type that is used by the file server that communicates with the DocuPrint NPS. You must make sure that you specify only one framing type, as multiple framing types are not supported. Therefore, when you are using print server and remote printer, and have the DocuPrint NPS communicate with a different machine for each, you must select a framing type that works with both machines.

If you are installing a new Novell network using Ethernet, it is recommended that you choose the ETHERNET__II framing type for the file server and the DocuPrint NPS. If you are using Token Ring and the Novell server has both TOKENRING and TOKENRING__SNAP enabled, use TOKENRING on the DocuPrint NPS. For FDDI networks running Novell, it is recommended that you choose the FDDI framing type.

TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, and AppleTalk network protocols are supported over FDDI. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configuration only.
