40 AXIS 540/640 User’s Manual
NetWare
Print Server Mode In this mode the AXIS 540/640 logs in to a file server(s) and
repeatedly polls the print queues for print jobs. In this fashion, the
AXIS 540/640 emulates a NetWare print server, that is a workstation
running PSERVER. It provides high printing speed with low network
load and is the recommended mode for medium to large sized
networks. Each print server in PSERVER mode will occupy one
NetWare license.
Advantages • Easy to set up.
• High performance (typically 150-400 kbytes/s).
Limitations • Requires a NetWare user licence for each AXIS 540/640 to file
server link.
Remote Printer Mode In this mode the AXIS 540/640 connects itself to a PSERVER
NetWare program running on the file server, or alternatively to a
dedicated workstation running PSERVER.EXE. It then automatically
receives print jobs from the file server. In this fashion, the AXIS
540/640 emulates a workstation running the NetWare remote printer
software RPRINTER, or NPRINTER. This mode is only
recommended for small networks where the number of NetWare user
licences is a major issue.
Advantages • NetWare user licences are not required.
• Easy to set up.
Limitations • Lower performance, e.g. typically 20 - 70 kbytes/s for NLM.
• Higher network load.
