Tips for experts—IPX networks
Setting up the ColorPASS is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the
network. The following information is useful for experienced network administrators.
The ColorPASS with IPX connections has these characteristics:
•
Both NetWare 3.x and NetWare 4.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is also
supported through bindery emulation.
•
A minimum connection to the ColorPASS consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare
print server, and a NetWare queue.
•
A single directory tree (for NetWare 4.x) and up to eight bindery servers can be
configured simultaneously.
This limit is the same regardless of whether the ColorPASS is connected to the
network via Ethernet, via Token Ring, or both.
•
The ColorPASS looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.
•
Each print server can store jobs for any print connection on the ColorPASS.
Overview of IPX printing to the ColorPASS
NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for
print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to
a print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk,
freeing up the client workstation.
The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct connection,
Hold queue, and Print queue on the ColorPASS. The NetWare queue names should be
given an extension corresponding to the ColorPASS print connection, as follows:
_print
_hold
_direct
N
OTE
:
These extension names must be in English and in all lowercase letters.
