Novell frame types to the network. This gives the print server a
general overview of the existing bindery and NDS servers as well

automatically recognizes network changes by searching the
network for new servers every two minutes. This time period for
the new recognition of the network structure, the so-called refresh

using either the print server homepage, the KyoNetCon or
parameter transfer via FTP.
In print server mode, the KYOCERA-PrintServer queries whether
any file servers have print jobs in their respective printer queues at

KYOCERA-PrintServer collects the print data and sends it to the
printer for processing. This time period of polling the print queue,
the so-called poll time, can be configured using either the print
server homepage or the KyoNetCon.

mode is comparatively high. The KYOCERA-PrintServer can
service 16 bindery servers and 8 NDS servers (24 NDS servers
when bindery is turned off). You can install and assign up to a total
of 16 print queues to a print server.

on the respective workstation or computer.
In remote printer mode the print jobs are routed from the
PSERVER to the KYOCERA-PrintServer. The
KYOCERA-PrintServer adopts the function of the NPRINTER in
