AXIS 5570e and AXIS 5670e User's Guide
Queue-based Printing Methods
The following overview explains the advantages and limitations of the two supported
queue-based printing methods.
Print Server Mode
The AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly polls the print queues
for print jobs. In this fashion, the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e emulates a NetWare print server,
which is a workstation running PSERVER. It provides high printing speed with low network
load and is the recommended mode for medium to large sized networks. Each print server
in PSERVER mode takes one NetWare user license.
Advantages
• High performance: up to 1 Mbyte/s
Limitations
• In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user licence for each AXIS
5570e/AXIS 5670e to file server link.
Remote Printer Mode
The AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e acts as Remote Printer for PSERVER.NLM running on the
NetWare file server, or to a dedicated workstation running PSERVER.EXE. In this fashion,
the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e emulates a workstation running the NetWare remote printer
software RPRINTER, or NPRINTER. This mode is only recommended for small networks
where the number of NetWare user licences is a major issue.
Advantages
• NetWare user licences are not required.
Limitations
• Lower performance, typically 20 - 70 kbytes/s for NLM.
• Higher network load.
