Setting Up as a Print Server (NetWare 4.x, 5/5.1, 6/6.5)
Follow the procedure below to connect the printer as a print server using NetWare 4.x, NetWare 5/5.1, or NetWare 6.0.
When using the printer as a print server in NetWare 4.x, NetWare 5/5.1, or NetWare 6.0, set it to the NDS mode.
When using NetWare 5/5.1 or NetWare 6.0, set the printer as a print server.
Start Web Image Monitor.

A dialog box for entering the login user name and password appears.
Enter the login user name and password, and then click [Login].

In the left area, click [Configuration], and then click [NetWare] in "Network".
Print Server Name: Enter the NetWare print server name. To use the interface board as a print server, enter the name of a print server that is not active on the file server. Use up to 47 characters.
Logon Mode: Specify whether to designate a file server or NDS tree when logging on to NetWare.
File Server Name: When a file server name is entered here, only the specified file server is searched for. This item is mandatory. Use up to 47 characters.
NDS Tree: To enable NDS mode, enter the name of the NDS tree you want to log on to. Use up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
NDS Context Name: To enable NDS mode, enter the print server context. Use up to 127 characters.
Operation Mode: Specify whether to use the interface board as a print server or a remote printer.
Remote Printer No.: This item is effective when the interface board is specified as a remote printer. Enter the same number as the number of the printer to be created on the print server (0 to 254 characters).
Job Timeout: When the interface board is used as a NetWare remote printer, the printer cannot detect when a print job ends. Therefore, the printer terminates printing when a certain period of time has elapsed since it last received print data (i.e., when it has not received print data for a certain period of time). Specify here this period of time (3 to 255 seconds). The initial value is 15 (seconds).
Frame Type: Select the frame type from the drop-down menu.
Print Server Protocol: Select the protocol for NetWare from the drop-down menu.
Confirm the settings, and then click [OK].
Configuration is now complete. Wait several minutes before restarting Web Image Monitor.
Click [Logout].
To check that the configuration is made correctly, enter the following from the command prompt.
F:> NLIST USER/A/B
If the printer works as configured, the name of the print server appears as a connected user.
If you cannot identify the printer you want to configure, check the printer name with the configuration page printed from the printer. For details about printing a configuration page, see "List/Test Print Menu".
If no printer names appear in the list, match the frame types of IPX/SPXs for the computer and printer. Use the [Network] dialog box of Windows to change the frame type of the computer.
