Introduction; Setting Up The Elite Xl Printer - GCC Technologies Elite XL-1208 Network Manual

NEST

Introduction

NEST (Novell Embedded Software Technology) is code written by Novell and
licensed by GCC. It provides NetWare protocols and is configured using
standard NetWare utilities. It offers these advantages:
• Your Elite XL does not require a dedicated print server, so it connects
directly to the network.
• You can install the Elite XL anywhere you have an Ethernet connection.
• NEST works with GCC's WebAdmin utility.
This manual shows you how to install and configure your Elite XL printer to
work with your NetWare network. You set up your Elite XL printer in two
steps – the usual NetWare setup, followed by the GCC specific NEST setup. If
any of the computers on your network are creating PostScript jobs using
Windows, you will also need to configure them.
The Elite XL NEST specific parameters are setup using GCC's WebAdmin
utility. Instructions for accessing and using the WebAdmin utility are located
later in this section and in Section 2 of this manual.
