Using in NetWare Environment

The printer supports the following versions of NetWare:
NetWare 3.12/3.2 (bindery service)
NetWare 4.1/4.11/4.2/5 (bindery service)
NetWare 4.1/4.11/4.2/5 (directory service)

Directory service (NDS) and bindery service support the following modes
respectively:

Queue Server mode in which the printer functions as a print server
Remote printer mode in which the printer functions as a remote printer

The printing procedure of the two modes is explained below. Decide on the mode to
use before you install the printer.

Queue Server Mode (Recommended)
In the Queue Server mode, the printer functions as the print server by retrieving and
printing print jobs from the print queues on the file server. As it fully utilizes the
printer functions, the system capacity of this mode is better than that of the remote
printer mode. However, the printer uses one user license on the file server.

Remote Printer Mode
In the remote printer mode, the print server running on the file server sends jobs to
the printer. The printer prints out the jobs retrieved from the print server.
In this mode, the printer does not use up any user license of the file server.


To install your printer in a NetWare environment, you must ensure that you log on as
SUPERVISOR (for NetWare 3.x) or ADMIN (for NetWare 4.x 5.x).
