To set up the printer as a remote printer, read about how to use

the Printer as a Remote Printer (RPRINTER Mode),” later in this chapter.

For both PSERVER and RPRINTER, you must also follow the instructions
in “Step 4: Setting Up the PostScript Printer Driver for NetWare,” later in
this chapter.

For more information about using the Apple LaserWriter Utility, see
Appendix A.

Using PCONSOLE

PCONSOLE is a DOS-based utility for configuring printers on a NetWare
network. This chapter provides information on the set of basic PCONSOLE
operations required to set up the LaserWriter 12/640 PS. PCONSOLE is not
provided with the printer. It comes with your NetWare software. Detailed
information about PCONSOLE can be found in your NetWare
documentation.

The descriptions of PCONSOLE in this guide assume the use of keyboard
commands to navigate through the program and perform operations. With the
installation of a DOS mouse driver, you can also use a mouse to make
selections and choose options.

The table below lists some basic PCONSOLE key commands.
