Novell Netware IPX

IPX is used with Novell NetWare. The OkiLAN supports Novell 3, 4,

5 and 6, and allows print jobs to be directed to the appropriate

Novell print queue. Please refer to the relevant section of this

manual for additional information.

NetBEUI Protocol

NetBEUI is a protocol that was designed for use on small

workgroups or LANs. Within Windows, NetBEUI is used for file and

printer sharing between computers. It provides a simple method of

printing, but the protocol does have limitations and is not as robust

as TCP/IP or IPX. Typically it is employed in small or home

networks.

Network Printer Settings

There are three configurable items under NetBEUI within the

printer. These can be configured using the standard set-up utility

described in Chapter 1.

Although the workgroup name can be changed, it is recommended that it remain PrintServer.

Although there are some differences in configuration options

between the various Windows platforms, the procedure for printing

using NetBEUI is the same.

Please ensure the NetBEUI protocol has been installed in Windows.

This can be confirmed by checking the network settings. If NetBEUI

has not been installed please refer to the section below.

The relevant Windows installation CD-ROM may be required and
