How the TE-350 Works
The TE-350 acts as a node in the local area network with its own
unique network address. It receives print data from across the network
(usually in the form of packets) and converts the packets to a format
that can be recognized by serial or parallel printers. The implementa-
tion varies among various network operating systems.
In the Novell NetWare Environment, the TE-350 has two operating
modes: the
Print Server mode and the Remote Printer mode. The
Print Server mode is faster but occupies a user login slot. The Remote
Printer mode is slower and generates more network traffic but does
not occupy an user login slot.
In Print Server mode, TE-350 emulates NetWare PSERVER. After
the unit is activated, it will login to specified NetWare servers and
poll the specified print queues. If there are print jobs in the print
queues, then TE-350 will perform the following operations: 1) get
each print job packet by packet, 2) convert the packet format to ac-
ceptable printer format, 3) then send the data to the printer.
TE-350 does not support NetWare Directory Service
(NDS). Setup TE-350 by using bindery emulation.
In the Remote Printer mode, the TE-350 emulates a NetWare Remote
Printer. After the unit is activated, it will perform the following op-
erations: 1) connect to NetWare PSERVER, 2) receive the print jobs
sent by PSERVER, 3) convert the packet format to an acceptable
printer format, 4) then send the data to the printer.
This manual covers how to setup TE-350 with your Netware Net-
works.
