4-2 Setting up Network Servers
NetWare clients print to the DocuColor 40 CP through the Novell network server.
Server setup and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is
described in Getting Started, and printing is described in the Printing Guide.
The DocuColor 40 CP can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare,
Windows NT 4.0, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from
Windows NT 4.0 or UNIX workstations. NetWare clients on Mac OS or
Windows NT 4.0 computers can print either via the NetWare server or directly.
The DocuColor 40 CP can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over the Ethernet
or Token Ring network topologies. (Appendix A describes the Token Ring option.)
During DocuColor 40 CP Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used
for communication between the DocuColor 40 CP and network servers. Frame type
refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup
file when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.
Tips for experts—IPX networks
Setting up the DocuColor 40 CP is similar to setting up another PostScript printer on
the network. The following information is all that experienced network administrators
need.
A DocuColor 40 CP with IPX connections has these characteristics:
• Both NetWare 3.x and NetWare 4.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is also sup-
ported through bindery emulation.
• A minimum connection to the DocuColor 40 CP consists of a NetWare file server, a Net-
Ware print server, and a NetWare queue.
• A single directory tree (for NetWare 4.x) and up to eight bindery servers can be
configured simultaneously.
This limit is the same regardless of whether the DocuColor 40 CP is connected to the
network via Ethernet, via Token Ring, or both.
