Novell NetWare
Part No. 1H9613 June 1997 6-3
NOTE: Novell AppleTalk only recognizes the printer when it is in
PostScript mode. Raster mode printing cannot be
accommodated. You must set up an IPX queue to
support both PostScript and Raster mode printing.
Novell NetWare - IPX - 3.x/4.x Servers
Novell NetWare IPX - Printer Parameters
You may set up or modify network printing parameters over Novell
NetWare IPX for frametype and preferred server. Frametype is
set up from the printer’s front display/control panel and by
downloading a PostScript command file to set up a preferred
server.
It should not be necessary to modify these parameters from
factory defaults of Frametype = AutoSelect and Preferred Server
= Undefined. This function is provided for efficiency in varying
customer environments.
Refer to “Network Printer Parameters” for information on setting
up all printer parameters for the various protocols.
Creating and Editing the IPX KSETUP Configura-
tion File
Some procedures in this section vary, depending on whether you
are running Novell NetWare 3.x or 4.x. Complete the procedures
appropriate for your site.
You must create a configuration file using the KSETUP.EXE
program from the Novell Utilities diskette. This configuration file
should reside on only one file server. You can modify the file as
necessary to change the queues or servers that the printer
services.
Upon startup, the printer tries to read a configuration file from the
available servers. If a primary server is defined, it will start with
that server. It looks in the \login\kodak directory for a file named
kxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the Network
Interface Card’s Ethernet address.
NOTE: For printers in PostScript mode, make a test print; and
make a note of the hardware address of the installed
Network Interface Card.
