Novell NetWare Hardware Step-by-Step

1. Check LED activity on the NIC card. Link (green) LED should
be ON whenever it is connected to an active network. Traffic
(Yellow) LED should flicker with data reception.
2. VERIFY cable connections. If possible, substitute a new cable or
connectors from a known good system or printer.
3. Check the port to which your printer is attached (concentrator or
MAU). Connect a known good network device to it and test.
4. Print a Print Settings page from your DocuPrint printer. Use the
Control Panel's Print menu to select Print Settings.
5. Review the Connectivity Settings area of the page and check for
these things:
Ethernet or Token Ring (depending on NIC card) are ENABLED.
NOTE: Token Ring ONLY - Speed and Source Routing must be set
to the correct values. (Defaults are 16 Mbits/SEC and Yes)
Connector is set correctly for BNC, RJ45, or DB9. Auto is the
Default and will probably work for most applications.
Frame Type matches the frame type of the desired fileserver.
NOTE: To determine your NetWare IPX frame type, type config at
the Novell 3.1X, or 4.1X console screen. On large networks, using
multiple IPX frame types, it is CRITICAL that the frame type be set
correctly.
Mode is set to your desired PDL (PostScript or PCL5C) or to
Auto Select. You may wish to set Mode to the desired type if only
one PDL will be used.
