PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments

Installing the utility

If you received the MarkVision Utility with your printer, follow the instructions
on the diskette respectively CD-ROM to install it. Be sure you read the
README.TXT file (using WORDPAD or DOS EDIT) for last-minute
information about the utility.

Configuring the
adapter

You must set up the adapter to process Windows 95 print jobs. The information
in this section should help you. In addition, please consult the on-line help for
the latest information available.

The Network Adapter can process jobs from many different environments (for
example, from NetWare networks and TCP/IP networks).

To process NetWare print jobs

You can use NetWare in a Windows 95 environment.

Note: For networks that are exclusively NDS (NetWare 4.x servers with
bindery emulation turned off) the initial WIN95 utilities will discover
adapters. These adapters will need to be set to RPRINTER mode and assigned
to be connected to a PSERVER. Existing Novell utilities (NWADMIN,
PCONSOLE, etc.) are then used to create queues and define the PSERVER.

Prerequisites

Make sure your Windows 95 desktop is set up to run NetWare jobs.

From the Control Panel:

1

Select Network.

2

Make sure one of these is running:

a

Microsoft client for NetWare Networks

b

Microsoft client with NDS upgrade

c

16-bit Novell client

d

Novell client 32
