Setting up Network Servers
Tips for experts—IPX networks
Setting up the Fiery 3850C is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the
network. The following information is useful for experienced network administrators.
The Fiery 3850C with IPX connections has these characteristics:
•
Both NetWare 3.x and NetWare 4.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is also
supported through bindery emulation.
•
A minimum connection to the Fiery 3850C consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare
print server, and a NetWare queue.
•
A single directory tree (for NetWare 4.x) and up to eight bindery servers can be
configured simultaneously.
•
The Fiery 3850C looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.
•
Each print server can store jobs for any print connection on the Fiery 3850C.
Overview of IPX printing to the Fiery 3850C
NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for
print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to
a print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk,
freeing up the client workstation.
The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct connection,
Hold queue, and Print queue on the Fiery 3850C. The NetWare queue names should
be given an extension corresponding to the Fiery 3850C print connection, as follows:
_print
_hold
_direct
N
OTE
:
These extension names must be in English and in all lowercase letters.
