8. Setting up the network server
Xerox Phaser 790

Printing on a NetWare 3.x, 4.x or 5.x network
The NetWiseâ„¢ features built into the Phaser 790 supports the
following network operating environments:
• NetWare 5.x—Bindery and Novell Directory Services (NDS)
• NetWare 4.x—Novell Directory Services (NDS)
• NetWare 3.x—Bindery services
• Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode
The term bindery server refers to a Novell file server running NetWare
3.x or running NetWare 4.x and NetWare 5.x in emulation mode.
The term NDS describes components of a NetWare operating system
running NetWare 4.x in native mode.
Ethernet-based and Token Ring-based NetWare networks support the
IPX/SPX protocol. Token Ring-based NetWare networks also support
TCP/IP.
Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the cooperation of the
Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privileges on the
network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
NetWare clients print to the Phaser 790 through the Novell network
server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined in this
chapter.
For information about client setup and printing refer to the installation
and printing chapters that are appropriate for the operating system.
The Phaser 790 can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over the
Ethernet or Token Ring network topologies. During printer setup, you
select the frame type(s) that will be used for communication between
the Phaser 790 and the network servers. Frame type refers to the
format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a
startup file when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads
its network drivers.
IPX-supported client workstations running Windows 95/98 and
Windows NT 4.0 communicate directly to the printer, not through the
NetWare server. Windows 2000 does not support the web-based Fiery
utilities.
