8 Axis NPS 530/532 User’s Manual
NetWare The NPS 530/532 has two different modes in the NetWare environment
– Print Server Mode and Remote Printer Mode.
In Print Server Mode, the NPS 530/532 emulates a NetWare Print
Server. At power-on it will log in to each file server in the network to find
out which print queues are to be serviced. Up to 16 file servers and up to
96 print queues are supported.
In Remote Printer Mode, the NPS 530/532 appears as a NetWare
Remote Printer. At power-on it will log in and attach to up to eight
specified NetWare print servers.
Windows The NPS 530/532 is set up using the supplied Axis Print Utility for
Windows. You may print through a server (client-server), or directly (peer-
to-peer). The supported platforms are Windows for Workgroups,
Windows 95 and Windows NT.
OS/2 The NPS 530/532 is integrated to the OS/2 Spooler using the supplied
Axis Print Utility for OS/2. The printers attached to the NPS 530/532 will
appear as connected directly to the file server, and may be used by any PC
running LAN Server or LAN Manager on your network.
Unix systems The NPS 530/532 can operate as an integrated part of your system. The
printers connected to the NPS 530/532 will appear as if they were
connected directly to the host printer spooler.
You have several protocols and print methods to choose from. The
method you should select depends on your requirements, and what
system you are running. Five print methods are supported in TCP/IP:
LPD, FTP, PROS A (named pipe) PROS B (filter) and Reverse Telnet.
Any host supporting the TCP/IP suite of protocols is supported by the
NPS 530/532.
Macintosh The NPS 530/532 will appear as a LaserWriter printer connected to your
AppleTalk network. Once selected from the Chooser in the Apple menu,
it can be used as any other LaserWriter.
