Using the Machine as a Local Printer
USB
Use a USB interface cable to directly connect the machine to a computer.
For more information on how to set up the machine using USB connection, refer to "Installation When
Using USB Port" (P.267).
Using the Machine as a Network Printer
To set up the machine as a network printer, the following protocols are available to
connect the machine.
LPD
Use LPD when direct communication between the machine and a computer via TCP/
IP is available.
For more information on how to set up the machine using LPD, refer to "Installation When Using TCP/
IP (LPD/Port 9100)" (P.269).
NetWare
The machine supports the PServer mode using Netware directory service and bindery
service. The PServer mode enables the machine to function as a printer server, and to
retrieve print jobs in the print queue to output. The printer created for the machine
consumes one user license of the file server.
Note • The machine does not support Remote Printer (RPrinter) mode.
• You can use the machine as a printer in a NDPS environment by using a Novell NDPS
Gateway. To use the machine as a printer in a NDPS environment, you need to have the
machine operating in a NetWare print environment beforehand, or enable LPD in advance
and set it as a gateway destination in a Novell NDPS Gateway setup. Attributes, however,
that can be set or obtained by NDPS are not supported.
