Setting Up as a Print Server (NetWare 3.x)

Follow the procedure below to connect the machine as a print server using NetWare 3.x.

1Start Web Image Monitor.

2Click [Login].

A dialog box for entering the login user name and password appears.

3Enter the login user name and password, and then click [Login].

For details about the login user name and password, consult your network administrator.

4Click [Configuration] in the left area, and then click [NetWare Print Settings].

  • Print Server Name: Enter the NetWare print server name. To use the interface board as a print server, enter the name of a print server that is not active on the file server. Use up to 47 characters.

  • Logon Mode: Specify whether to designate a file server or NDS tree when logging on to NetWare.

  • File Server Name: When a file server name is entered here, only the specified file server is searched for. This item is mandatory. Use up to 47 characters.

  • NDS Tree: To enable NDS mode, enter the name of the NDS tree you want to log on to. Use up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

  • NDS Context Name: To enable NDS mode, enter the print server context. Use up to 127 characters.

  • Operation Mode: Specify whether to use the interface board as a print server or a remote printer.

  • Remote Printer No.: This item is effective when the interface board is specified as a remote printer. Enter the same number as the number of the printer to be created on the print server (0 to 254 characters).

  • Job Timeout: When the interface board is used as a NetWare remote printer, the printer cannot detect when a print job ends. Therefore, the printer terminates printing when a certain period of time has elapsed since it last received print data (i.e., when it has not received print data for a certain period of time). Specify here this period of time (3 to 255 seconds). The initial value is 15 (seconds).

  • Frame Type: Select the frame type from the drop-down menu.

  • Print Server Protocol: Select the protocol for NetWare from the drop-down menu.

  • NCP Delivery Protocol: Select the protocol for NCP delivery.

5Confirm the settings, and then click [Device Name].

Configuration is now complete. Wait several before restarting Web Image Monitor.

6Click [Logout].

Note

  • To check the configuration is correct, enter the following from the command prompt:

    F:> USERLIST

  • If the printer works as configured, the name of the print server appears as a connected user.

  • If you cannot identify the printer you want to configure, check the printer name against the configuration page printed from the printer.

  • If no printer names appear in the list, match the frame types of IPX/SPXs for the computer and printer. Use the [Network] dialog box of Windows to change the frame type of the computer.

  • For details about Web Image Monitor, see “Using Web Image Monitor”.

  • For details about login user names and passwords, see Security Reference, which is the administrator's manual.
