• NetBEUI allows only one PC to send a print job at a time.
• There is a time limit for each NetBEUI job to be processed by
the printer and for printing to begin. Once printing begins, the
printer cannot accept jobs from other sources.
• Such things as printer errors, jams, open covers, etc. can cause
the print job to be lost. For example, an error must be cleared
within 3 1/2 minutes after the NetBEUI job begins. Once started,
data flow must be constant.
• The NetBEUI buffer has a time limitation of 3 1/2 minutes. This
is crucial when dealing with large, complex files which can be
lost because of the time out.
• NetBEUI can be affected by Microsoft network protocol internal
timeouts. In this case, if the printer repeatedly stalls due to a
large job, these internal timeouts may cause the PC to abort the
print job.
You can minimize some of the NetBEUI constraints just listed by
installing an internal disk drive and setting the NetBEUI’s Spool
setting to True. This provides free disk space for print job storage
before sending the job to be processed, and allows the fully compiled
job to be sent from this drive to the printer as a complete unit. In
most cases, it guarantees a successful download to the printer.
NetBEUI, originally designed for connection between a server and
client, works on the principle that once a connection is made, the
sender can transmit the data to the printer. The printer becomes a
host PC on the network.
