Novell NetWare Troubleshooting Step-By-Step

These procedures eliminate cabling, communication, and connection problems associated with network connected printers. The steps are divided into two groups:

Novell NetWare Hardware Step-by-Step

Novell NetWare Software Step-by-Step

Note

Novell NetWare Software Step-by-Step assumes that you are connected to a Novell NetWare network with a Windows OS installed on the client workstation. When both of these procedures are completed, print a test page from your software application. If the test page prints, no further system troubleshooting is necessary.

Novell NetWare Hardware Step-By-Step

Note the LED activity on the printer. The green link LED is ON whenever it is connected to an active network. The amber traffic LED is flickering when data is being received.

1.Verify the following:

The cable connections: Use a new cable or connectors if possible

Which port your printer is attached to. Connect a functioning network device to your printer to test the port.

2.Print the “Configuration Page” from your printer. For information about printing Configuration pages, go to Reference/Features/Front Panel.

3.Review the Connectivity Settings and verify these items:

NetWare is enabled

Frame Type matches the frame type of the desired file server

Note

To determine your NetWare IPX frame type, type config at the Novell console screen. On large networks, using multiple IPX frame types, it is critical that the frame type be set correctly.

PDL is set to your desired PDL (PostScript or PCL) or to Auto

Primary Server (for NetWare 3.x only) is set to the name of the server which serves the print queue you have assigned to the Phaser printer

NDS Tree (for NetWare 4.x NDS and later) is set for the correct NDS tree name

NDS Context (for NetWare 4.x NDS and later) is set for the correct NDS Context

Print Server (PServer) Name is set for the name selected for the Phaser printer to act as a print server

Novell Mode is correctly set

4.If changes are made, reset the printer. Once the printer has been reset, allow approximately two minutes for the printer to go through a self test, then log onto the network server.

5.Print out another copy of the “Configuration Page” to verify that the items you modified were set and kept.

6250 specifications

The Xerox 6250 is a notable model in the history of photocopying technology, which emerged in the mid-1980s as a part of Xerox's line of high-performance copiers. Designed to meet the demands of small to medium-sized businesses, the Xerox 6250 was celebrated for its innovative features and robust capabilities, allowing it to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.

One of the main features of the Xerox 6250 is its ability to produce high-quality monochrome copies. The machine operates at a sharp resolution of 600 dots per inch (dpi), which ensures that text and images are reproduced with clarity and precision. It can handle a variety of paper sizes and types, including letter, legal, and even larger formats, making it suitable for diverse office needs.

A significant technological advancement featured in the Xerox 6250 is its electrostatic copying process. This technology enhances the overall efficiency and speed of copying, with the machine capable of producing up to 25 copies per minute. In addition, it includes an automatic document feeder (ADF), allowing users to load multiple-page documents for hassle-free copying, further streamlining workflow in busy office environments.

The Xerox 6250 also includes a user-friendly interface, featuring a simple control panel that facilitates easy operation. Users can easily select copy settings and make adjustments as needed, minimizing training time for new employees. Moreover, the device supports automatic duplexing, which enables users to produce double-sided copies efficiently, saving paper and reducing waste.

Another important characteristic of the Xerox 6250 is its reliability and durability. Built with robust components, this copier was designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, making it a trusted choice for many organizations. Maintenance is also straightforward, with easily accessible components that simplify servicing and replacement tasks.

With a compact footprint, the Xerox 6250 can seamlessly fit in various office settings, maximizing space without compromising functionality. Overall, the Xerox 6250 represents a significant step forward in copying technology, combining high-quality output, user-friendly design, and reliable performance, which has led to its lasting impact in the world of office equipment.
