3-6 Phaser 360 Color Printer
Note
The Print Screen function is controlled from within the OS/2 System
folder.
1. Open the System folder, then open the System object.
2.
Click on the Print Screen Tab to view the Print Screen settings. Be
sure that Enable has been selected. With Enable Print Screen selected,
the following options are available.
a. You may print the contents of a window by pointing to that
window and pressing Print Screen.
b. You may print the full screen by first opening any window,
placing the cursor on the desktop away from any open windows,
and then pressing Print Screen. Be sure that at least one window is
open.
c. You may use Print Screen on any port (any available printer) by
changing the default printer selection. (Point to any printer object,
click the right mouse button, click on Select Default, and click on
Phaser 360.) This is a simple way to be sure that all printers are set
up correctly.
NetWare is a shell program running above DOS. Generally, in a Novell network,
a file server, which looks and acts much like a PC computer, maintains queues
for the print files created and sent for printing from other workstations on the
network. The printer, in turn, finds all file servers with Phaser 360 queues and
extracts its print files from them. You must determine if a computer can
communicate a print file to the file server.
Generally, as outlined in the Chapter 2 topic, "Configuring a Novell NetWare 3.x
server for the printer" on page 2-40, the file server and printer are configured
during the printer installation using software such as Advanced Configuration
Tool (ACT) or pconsole. The file server is given a name and configured with
queues for the printer.
