Operating Modes
With either Bindery or NDS, two (2) NetWare operating modes are possible -Print Server and
Remote Printer.
• Print Server mode is faster and uses fewer resources than Remote Printer mode but
occupies a user login slot. This mode should be used if possible.
• Remote Printer mode has the advantage that it does not use a login slot.
Operation - Print Server Mode
The IOPRINT+ Print Server emulates NetWare PSERVER. When the unit is activated, it will
perform the following operations:
• Login to specified NetWare file server(s)
• Poll the specified print queues.
• If there are print jobs in the print queues, then the IOPRINT+ Print Server will send them
to the printer(s).
Operation - Remote Printer Mode
The IOPRINT+ Print Server emulates a NetWare Remote Printer. After the unit is activated, it will
perform the following operations:
• Connect to NetWare PSERVER
• Receive the print jobs sent by PSERVER
• Convert the packet format to a acceptable printer format, and send the data to the printer.
