Note:

The default interface setting is print server mode. If you are setting

up the card for use in the Novell Net Ware environment, you will

need to determine whether you want to set up the Ethernet Card in

print server, remote printer, or Auto PrintServer/Remote mode.

If

you want to operate you printer in more than one network

environment, install the interface for each network as described in

the following chapters.

Terms and Concepts

A node address is a set of numbers that gives an item a unique

identity, including a printer on a network.

The file server stores data required for the Ethernet Card to operate

as a print server. Each Ethernet Card print server has

one

master

file server, which you designate during initial setup.

A print queue is a directory on a file server where a print job is

stored as a file, until the print server sends the job to the assigned

printer.

A print server moves jobs from print queues to printers.

A remote printer is a shared printer connected elsewhere on the

network, but under the control of a NetWare print server.

Traditionally, a remote printer is connected to a network

workstation running NetWare’s RPRINTER, but the Ethernet

Card can also function as a remote printer.

A status sheet prints each time the Status Sheet button of the

Ethernet Card is pushed. If the Card is installed as a print server,

the status sheet lists the configurations of the Ethernet Card on

each network.
