Operation Modes For Novell Netware; Print Server Mode - Epson EPL-N2000 User Manual

Operation Modes for Novell NetWare

If you are setting up the Ethernet card for use in a NetWare
environment, you will need to determine whether you want to set
it up in Print Server mode or Remote Printer mode. For more
details, find the appropriate chapter for your operating system and
read the NetWare section in that chapter. The factory default
operating mode for the card in a NetWare environment is Print
Server mode.
Note:
If you use the Ethernet card in a NetWare and WAN (Wide Area
Network) environment and connecte it to a general phone line
(including ISDN), the card may open the dial-up-rooter and apckets
may be sent to the WAN. To avoid this problem and extra phone fees,
mask the vendor code as shown below in the dial-up-rooter.
Vender code
The factory default NetWare condition of the Ethernet card is
disabled. You must configure the card with EPSON Net! to work
on a NetWare network.

Print Server mode

In Print Server mode, the Ethernet card performs all print server
functions and can service up to 32 queues and eight file servers.
No VAP (Value-Added Process) or NLM (NetWare Loadable
®
Module ) is required. When you send a print job from your
application, the file server assigns the print job to a print queue.
When the corresponding printer is ready, the print server sends
the print job to the printer.
The Ethernet card operates like any Novell NetWare print server,
servicing the assigned queues in a round robin fashion. In queues
of the same priority, the Ethernet card services the first job in a
queue before those in a lower priority queue. The Ethernet card
also supports encrypted passwords.
