Enabling/Disabling Hunting; Using The Ethernet Card In Auto Print Server/Remote Printer Mode - Epson EPL-N2000 User Manual

Enabling/disabling Hunting

You can use EPSON Net! for NetWare DOS to turn the
Ethernet card's Hunting feature on or off. When Hunting is on,
the interface card connects to the first available unassigned
active port. This feature is useful if the Novell print server has
many printer ports. To change this setting, follow these steps:
1. In the NetWare config dialog, click On under Hunting to
enable the function. The default setting is Off.
2. Click Save to save the setting.
Using the Ethernet Card in Auto Print Server/
Remote Printer Mode
When you use EPSON Net! for NetWare DOS, you can
configure the Ethernet card to use Auto Print Server/Remote
Printer mode. In this mode, the Ethernet card provides
automatic switching between print server and remote printer
operation, depending on network conditions.
If the Ethernet card is in Auto Print Server/Remote Printer
mode and has the same name as the main Novell print server
on your network, it detects the presence of the print server and
operates as a remote printer. This way if your primary print
server becomes unavailable, the Ethernet card automatically
switches modes to provide print server backup.
To use the Ethernet card in Auto Print Server/Remote Printer
mode, you must configure it for both print server and remote
printer operation. For information on changing the various
print server and remote printer settings, see the appropriate
sections earlier in this chapter. To select the Auto Print
Server/Remote Printer mode, follow these steps:
