4-10 XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS
•
Form names—distinct form names for DocuPrint NPS that map
to the DocuPrint virtual printer names.
Provide the following information to the service representative if you
configure DocuPrint NPS as a remote printer on the Novell network
(for further information, refer to the "Installation process" section in
the "Installation" chapter of this guide):
•
Novell print server name—indicates the name of the print
server to which the DocuPrint NPS will connect. An advertising
print server with this name must be running on the Novell
internet.
•
Printer name(s) to service—refers to the name(s) of the printers
defined for the Novell print server. Virtual printers should be
defined with these names after DocuPrint NPS installation is
complete. These printers should be defined as type Remote
Other/Unknown.
Specify the network number for the internal IPX network in the
DocuPrint server. This number must be globally unique within the
NetWare internet to which the DocuPrint NPS is connected. (Do not
assign a number that is used by other machines to which the
DocuPrint NPS will be connected.)
Specify the network number for the cabling system to which the
DocuPrint NPS is connected, for example the Ethernet or Token Ring
segment.
Specify the network framing type used for IPX/SPX communication
by DocuPrint NPS. There are eight options:
•
ETHERNET__II
•
ETHERNET__802.3
•
ETHERNET__802.2
•
ETHERNET__SNAP
•
TOKENRING
•
TOKENRING__SNAP
•
FDDI
•
FDDI__SNAP.
Choose a framing type used by the file server that communicates
with DocuPrint NPS. If you are using print server or remote printer,
and have the DocuPrint NPS communicate with a different machine
for each, then choose a framing type that is used by both of the
machines.
If you are installing a new Novell network using Ethernet, it is
recommended that you choose the ETHERNET__II framing type for
the file server and the DocuPrint NPS. If you are using Token Ring
and the Novell server has both TOKENRING and TOKEN
RING_SNAP enabled, use TOKENRING on the DocuPrint NPS. For
FDDI networks running Novell, it is recommended that you choose
the FDDI framing type.
