The printer's NetWare interface
The printer's NetWare interface supports the Print Server (PSERVER) operating mode. Under the NetWare networking model, print jobs are stored in queues (directories) on a file server. A print server takes print jobs from the queues and sends them to printers. In your Tektronix printer, the print server resides within the internal interface of the printer, so in effect, the print server and the printer are one. The printer logs in to a file server using a login connection to service specified queues.

Bindery mode and NDS (NetWare Directory Services) supported

The printer's NetWare interface supports Bindery and NDS connection modes. The Phaser 360 printer supports Bindery and NDS modes separately or simultaneously.

Bindery reference queues supported

The Phaser 380, 350, 340, 560, 550, 540, and 600 printers support bindery reference queues. With these printers, the print server name and password on the bindery server must be the same as directory services names.

With the Phaser 360 printer, bindery reference queues are not necessary because this printer supports simultaneous Bindery and NDS connections.

Supported NetWare versions

The printer's NetWare interface has been tested with NetWare versions 3.12, 4.1, and 4.11. It should work with any NetWare server that uses NetWare's QMS (Queue Management System) to manage and service print queues. These servers include 80286, 80386, and 80486-based servers running other versions of NetWare (for example, versions 2.15, 2.2, 3.0, 3.11, 4.0), DOS and OS/2-based systems, VMS servers, and servers running UnixWare. PhaserShare Series B NetWare interface is not compatible with systems running NetWare Lite.

Supported NetWare protocols

The printer's NetWare interface supports the following NetWare protocols:

Other features

 The printer's NetWare interface supports up to 32 queues and eight file servers in any combination when in bindery mode. No additional VAPs (Value Added Procedures), NLMs (Network Loadable Modules), or TSRs (Terminate Stay Resident programs) are required to install your Tektronix printer on the network.

Note: The printer's NetWare interface supports packet signature and IPX checksum automatically, that is, the print server automatically signs packets and/or calculates checksums upon request from the file server.

Passwords

 If a password is used in Bindery mode, it must be set on the printer with the PhaserShare Administrator (or PhaserLink software) and on the file server with PCONSOLE.

If a password is used in NDS mode, it must be set on the printer with the PhaserShare Administrator (or PhaserLink software) and on the file server with the NWAdmin utility or PCONSOLE.

Notify lists

Use the PhaserShare Administrator to set up notify lists on NetWare 3.x servers. On NetWare 4.1, use the NWAdmin utility to setup the notify list for a printer.
