  • Page 7: How It Works

    Each packet contains information about the sender, the receiver, how to unpack the packet, and the data itself. The NPS 550 acts as a node in the Ethernet network, with its own unique address. It receives the packets addressed to it, unpacks them, and converts the print data to a format suitable for standard printers.
  • Page 8 Printer. At power-on it will log in and attach to up to eight specified NetWare print servers. Windows The NPS 550 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.

  • Page 9: Main Features

    Main Features Reliability The Axis NPS 550 hardware provides high performance and reliability combined with low power consumption. It is based on the Axis ETRAX chip with an integrated 32 bit RISC CPU and Ethernet controller. Flexibility It supports NetWare, Microsoft and IBM networks, TCP/IP and Apple EtherTalk simultaneously.

    Make sure that the external power supply is marked with the correct mains voltage. Connect a parallel printer to NPS 550 and make a test printout: 1. Switch off the printer. 2. Connect the printer to the LPT1 port using the supplied printer cable.

  • Page 13: Network Installation

    • Make sure that your network is ready to accept a new node. • Any network configuration should always involve the network manager. 1. Record the serial number of your NPS 550. You will need this number for the setup. 2. Connect your NPS 550 to the network using a twisted-pair (10baseT) or a thin-wire (10base2) Ethernet cable.

  • Page 14: Setup For Netware

    Section 3: Setup for NetWare Section 3 Setup for NetWare The NPS 550 can run in either Print Server Mode, Remote Printer Mode or both simultaneously. The basic configuration is done using the PCONSOLE software supplied from Novell, and if you choose a setup other than the automatic print server mode, also with AXCFG supplied with the NPS 550.
  • Page 15 There are three different ways to set up the print server mode, depending on how you want the NPS 550 to log in to the servers at power-up, and how you want to manage printer and queue configurations:...
  • Page 16 Section 3: Setup for NetWare File Server The NPS 550 will first log in to the Configuration File Server, and then to Controlled Log-In any additional NetWare servers found in the file server configuration. See page 20 for setup procedures.

  • Page 17: Print Server Mode (Automatic)

    Repeat this procedure for each file server using the NPS 550. Notes: 1. If the serial number of your NPS 550 is 00408C100086, then the default name is AXIS100086. The serial number is found on the label at the back of the NPS 550.
  • Page 18 9. Press <Escape> repeatedly to return to the main menu. Repeat this procedure for every queue you want the NPS 550 to service. The NPS 550 supports up to 96 print queues, defined on up to 16 file servers. Note: Assuming that you have the default Logical Printer settings, output from the print queue will be directed to the LPT1 output of the NPS 550.

  • Page 19: Print Server Mode (Parameter Controlled)

    Section 3: Setup for NetWare Print Server Mode (Parameter Controlled) This is similar to the automatic print server mode, but the NPS 550 will not automatically log in to all file servers and scan for queues to service. Instead, the file servers and print queues are specified by a set of parameters in the NPS 550 configuration.

  • Page 20: Print Server Mode (File Server Controlled)

    Print Server Mode (File Server Controlled) This method uses a NetWare file server (the Configuration File Server) to hold the print queue information. The NPS 550 will not automatically log in to all file servers and scan for queues to service. Instead, the file servers and print queues are specified on the configuration file server.

    Section 8: Advanced Options Logical Printers One of the most powerful features of the NPS 550 is the Logical Printer concept. A logical printer is a configurable device driver acting as an inter- face between the network and the physical printer. You may specify up to eight logical printers, each with different properties, even if you have only one physical printer attached.

  • Page 59: Character Set Conversion

    ASCII character sets. As a result of this, language specific characters (such as å ü ô ñ) are sometimes printed incorrectly. The NPS 550 solution to this problem is to assign a character set conver- sion filter to a logical printer, and link that logical printer to the host causing the problem.
