Setting Up the Network Server

6–4

You do not have to rerun Setup when adding or removing a NetWare
queue, but you should initialize these settings by powering the printer
Off and On after a queue is created or removed.

When the DP-C106 is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it
polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are
found, they are transferred over the network to the matching
connection. For example, jobs from the NetWare queue with the _print
extension are sent to the Print queue. While a job is processed and
printed, a record of the job is created. You can access the Job Log
containing these records at any time.

Configuring a NetWare 3.x, 4.x or 5.x Server for Printing

Use this section when you set up a NetWare file server so that
networked users can print to the DP-C106 from their workstations and
the printer can obtain jobs from the NetWare server.

For each NetWare file server that you configure, follow these general
steps:

Ensure that the server is connected to a functioning IPX network.

Log in as the Supervisor from a PC connected to the NetWare file
server.

For NetWare 4.x and 5.x installations, set up an NDS connection.

For NetWare 4.x and 5.x in emulation mode, set the bindery
context.

For NetWare 3.x and for NetWare 4.x and 5.x in bindery
emulation, set up a file server, a print server, and a print queue
for the DP-C106.

More detail is provided in subsequent sections and in your NetWare
documentation.

With bindery services, you can route all DP-C106 print jobs through the
same NetWare file server, or you can configure more than one file
server to handle DP-C106 jobs.

The functions you perform on the Novell server, on the DP-C106 and
on the client workstation, are summarized in the following tables.
Complete the operations on the server first, then at the DP-C106, and
finally at the client workstation.
