33-2 Setting up Network Servers

The DocuColor can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare and Windows NT, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT or UNIX workstations. NetWare clients on Mac OS computers can print via the NetWare server. NetWare clients on Windows NT computers can print either via the NetWare server or directly.

The DocuColor can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over the Ethernet or Token Ring network topologies. (Appendix A describes the Token Ring option.) During DocuColor setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the DocuColor and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

In addition to printing, the remote utilities— Spooler and Downloader—are available to Windows 95 users with IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols loaded. With these utilities, Windows 95 workstations are communicating with the DocuColor directly, not through the NetWare server.

Tips for experts—IPX networks

Setting up the DocuColor is similar to setting up another PostScript printer on the network. The following information is all that experienced network administrators need.

A DocuColor with IPX connections has these characteristics:

Both NetWare 3.12 and NetWare 4.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is also sup- ported through bindery emulation.

A minimum connection to the DocuColor consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue.

A single directory tree (for NetWare 4.x) and up to eight bindery servers can be configured simultaneously.

This limit is the same regardless of whether the DocuColor is connected to the net- work via Ethernet, via Token Ring, or both.

The DocuColor looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

Each print server can store jobs for any queue on the DocuColor.

Windows 95 workstations (whether a Novell server is present or not) can use IPX/SPX protocols for communicating with the DocuColor directly to run the utilities.
