Checking the Frame Type
The frame type is the format of the communications packet that the NetWare
file server uses. When the file server loads its network drivers, a setup file
specifies the frame type. The printer supports frame types of Ethernet_802.2,
Ethernet_802.3, and Ethernet II. To configure the printer, you will need to
know the frame type that your server uses. For instructions on how to find out
what frame type your NetWare server uses, see the documentation that
came with NetWare.
Setting the Bindery Context
The printer supports NetWare versions 3.11 and 3.12 and version 4.x in
bindery emulation mode. If your NetWare server is 4.x, set the bindery
context (see the procedure below). If your NetWare server is 3.1.x, see “To
create print servers and print queues” on page 2–6.
The procedure below provides an overview of the steps used to set the
bindery context. Complete instructions are in the Novell NetWare
documentation.
Note:
If your server is using NetWare 3.11 or 3.12, skip this section and see
“To create print servers and print queues” on page 2–6.
To set the NetWare 4.x Bindery Context:
1. Determine the Directory Services path to the container in which you will
create the print servers and print queues for the printer. The container
defines the bindery context for your network structure.
2. Enter these commands:
Load install
Maintenance/Selective Install
NCF File Options
Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF
3. In the
AUTOEXEC.NCF
file, add this line:
set bindery context =
your bindery context
where
your bindery context
is the correct bindery context for your
server.
4. Activate the new bindery context using one of these two methods:
• If you can reboot the NetWare server, do so. It loads the
set
command automatically.
• If you do not wish to reboot the NetWare server, type the
set
command at the server’s prompt. Use the same command you
entered in the
AUTOEXEC.NCF
file.
You are ready to set up the new print server and new print queue. See the
following section, “Creating a Print Server and Print Queues” for details.
