Novell NetWare
Configuration
The printer’s NetWare interface
The printer’s NetWare interface supports the Print Server (PSERVER) operating
mode. Under the NetWare networking model, print jobs are stored in queues
(directories) on a file server. A print server takes print jobs from the queues and
sends them to printers. In your Tektronix printer, the print server resides within the
internal interface of the printer, so the print server and the printer are one. The
printer logs in to a file server using a login connection to service specified queues.
Bindery mode and NDS (NetWare Directory Services) supported
The printer’s NetWare interface supports Bindery and NDS connection modes
separately or simultaneously.
Supported NetWare versions
The printer’s NetWare interface has been tested with NetWare versions 3.12, 4.1, and
4.11. It should work with any NetWare server that uses NetWare’s QMS (Queue
Management System) to manage and service print queues. These servers include
80286-, 80386-, and 80486-based servers running other versions of NetWare (for
example, versions 2.15, 2.2, 3.0, 3.11, 4.0), DOS and OS/2-based systems, VMS
servers, and servers running UnixWare. The PhaserShare NetWare interface is not
compatible with systems running NetWare Lite.

The printer’s NetWare interface supports the following NetWare protocols:
■
NCP (NetWare Core Protocol)
■
IPX (Internet Packet Exchange)
■
SPX (Sequential Packet Exchange)
■
SAP (Service Advertising Protocol)
