• High performance: up to 1 Mbyte/s
• In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user licence for
each AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ to file server link.
The AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ 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 5400+/AXIS 5600+ 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 5400+/AXIS 5600+ into the NetWare environment,
you can manage your AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+, 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 5400+/AXIS 5600+ 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 5400+/AXIS 5600+, 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 5400+/AXIS 5600+ 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.
