Identify the Preferred File Server

File server auto-searching is omitted and the time for starting up the printer is shortened by appointing the preferred file
sever.
When the Print Server Card comes up, it automatically searches for and is attached to the file servers. The extent of automatic
searching is limited as follows extents:
• Hops Up to four hops
• Ticks Up to eight ticks
The preferred file server can be identified at [Preferred File Server] of WebPage. If a preferred file server is identified, the Print
Server Card will attach to this identified file server instead of initiating the automatic search. If the preferred file server is also a
primary file server (for example, has file servers listed under file servers to be serviced), the Print Server Card will attach
directly to these file servers.
NOTE:
If the setting items of [Preferred File Server] are mistaken, problems may occur during printing
in NetWare.
