The NPS 650 has two different modes in the NetWare environment –
Print Server Mode and Remote Printer Mode.
In Print Server Mode, the NPS 650 emulates a NetWare Print Server. At
power-on it will log in to each file server in the network to find out which
print queues are to be serviced. Up to 16 file servers and up to 96 print
queues are supported.
In Remote Printer Mode, the NPS 650 appears as a NetWare Remote
Printer. At power-on it will log in and attach to up to eight specified
NetWare print servers.
The NPS 650 is set up using the supplied Axis Print Utility for Windows.
You may print through a server (client-server), or directly (peer-to-peer).
The supported platforms are Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95
and Windows NT.
The NPS 650 is integrated to the OS/2 Spooler using the supplied Axis
Print Utility for OS/2. The printers attached to the NPS 650 will appear as
connected directly to the file server, and may be used by any PC running
LAN Server or LAN Manager on your network.
The NPS 650 can operate as an integrated part of your system. The
printers connected to the NPS 650 will appear as if they were connected
directly to the host printer spooler.
You have several protocols and print methods to choose from. The
method you should select depends on your requirements, and what
system you are running. Five print methods are supported in TCP/IP:
LPD, FTP, PROS A (named pipe) PROS B (filter) and Reverse Telnet.
Any host supporting the TCP/IP suite of protocols is supported by the
NPS 650.
