• High performance: up to 1 Mbyte/s
• In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user licence for
each Axis Network Print Server to file server link.
The Axis Network Print Server acts as Remote Printer for PSERVER.NLM running
on the NetWare file server, or to a dedicated workstation running PSERVER.EXE.
In this fashion, the Axis Network Print Server emulates a workstation running
the NetWare remote printer software RPRINTER, or NPRINTER. This mode is
only recommended for small networks where the number of NetWare user
licences is a major issue.
• NetWare user licences are not required.
• Lower performance, typically 20 - 70 kbytes/s for NLM and higher network
load.
After installing the Axis Network Print Server into the NetWare environment,
you can manage your Axis Network Print Server, using either Novell's NetWare
Administrator, or PCONSOLE.
Some useful features provided by the NetWare Administrator are described in
more detail below:
Printer Status
The Printer Status menu, detailed below, shows the status of an active print job
serviced by an Axis Network Print Server network print server. It displays
detailed information concerning the active job including, Print Queue, print job
description, size of print file, percentage of job completed, etc. You can also
abort or pause the print job from this menu.
Notification
You can use the NetWare Administrator to enable or disable status notification
messages for printers connected to the AXIS 540+/AXIS 560, e.g. Busy, Off-line,
Out of paper, Paper jam, etc. You can also add or remove print job owners and
administrators from the list of persons to be notified.
Print Layout
You can view installed AXIS 540+/AXIS 560 and their relative print queues for
any NetWare Organizational Unit. You can also display summary information
by right-clicking on the printer object you want to examine.
