Chapter 5 NetWare Setup To print with the Konica 7020 series fitted with the KN-304 Network Board by using Novell NetWare, the setup procedures depend on the NetWare version and the method of resource management. ■ Setup for NetWare 2.x/3.x Before setting up NetWare, you have to define the print server name, etc., from the 7020 series machine’s LCD panel or MAP (Web utility). See Chapter 6, Setup Utility MAP, for setting up NetWare by MAP. See the manual of Novell NetWare for setting up with PCONSOLE.
Chapter 5 NetWare Setup ■Setup for NetWare 4.x Novell NetWare 4.x can operate in two modes, NetWare Directory Service (NDS) and Bindery Emulation Service (Bindery Emulation). Bindery Emulation Service and NDS will be executed simultaneously. It is also possible to set up the print server so that it operates only in Bindery Emulation Service mode or in NDS mode. The print server set up for NDS mode will also service the file server of an old version operating in Bindery mode.
Chapter 5 NetWare Setup The Directory is backward-compatible with the NetWare Bindery through Bindery emulation mode. Section 4.3 describes Print Server Operation with a 4.x NetWare system in bindery emulation mode. When Bindery emulation is enabled, Directory Services will accept Bindery requests and respond just as if a Bindery existed on the NetWare server being accessed.
Chapter 5 NetWare Setup ● Setup for Bindery Emulation Make sure of the Bindery Context. Before connecting the KN-304 print server to the Novell NetWare 4.x server of bindery mode, make sure that the NetWare server contains the bindery context. If the bindery context does not exist, the network administrator should modify the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to add an adequate SET command and restart the NetWare server or enter a SET command from the console prompt to make changes.
Chapter 5 NetWare Setup Setup with PCONSOLE in bindery mode If it is sure that the bindery context exists in the file server, you set up the KN-304 with PCONSOLE. Refer to the Novell NetWare manual for details of setup with PCONSOLE. In Bindery mode, only upper-case letters are valid for the printer server password.

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting An example of network setup list -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Unit Serial No: 995289 Version: 09.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting ■Resetting the KN-304 Factory Default You can cause the KN-304 to restore all parameters to factory default values, so the Print Server Card appears just as it came from the factory. You may choose to do this when the Print Server Card is moved to a new location where the environment (NetWare file servers, IP subnets, and so on) is different. This process is called “Reset to Factory”. It can be done with MAP or a Web Browser.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting ■How to Diagnose Problems Use the following list to determine the cause of printing problems: 1. Verify that the printer is functioning properly. • Is the printer printing? Make sure the printer is operating properly by causing it to generate a test page. See your printer’s owner’s manual for instructions on generating a test page. • Is the printer on-line (green LED should light)*? Verify that the printer is on-line or else nothing will print.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting ●Troubleshooting Network Hardware Connections • For 100BaseT or 10BaseT, check that the network connector is plugged into the RJ connector on the KN-304. • Try another cable to make sure you do not have a bad cable. ●Troubleshooting NetWare Protocol It is recommended you use MAP to get the NetWare setup and parameter values. If you have not resolved the problem after running MAP, go through the checklists in this section.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting ●File Server Checklist • Is there enough disk space on the file server and is it running? • Is the correct file server associated with the printer? Use PCONSOLE to check this. • Did you have the proper rights to configure the printer? (supervisor or administrator) • Are the File Server and the KN-304 communicating? Run NetWare’s COMCHECK utility from any network workstation to check this.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting also change the name in PCONSOLE before you can print. • Use PCONSOLE to check the Printer Status. Make sure it is not stopped or paused. • You cannot use PCONSOLE Version 1.0 to configure the network interface card. Connect Novell for an upgrade. ●Printer Server/File Server/Printer Checklist Check the following to see if: • The KN-304 Print Server can log into the file server, and can service jobs from a File Server. • The KN-304 Print Server name is listed on that File Server.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting ●Unable to Print from a Different Context The KN-304 does not support printing from a context different from the context you are installed upon. If you want to do this, you must create an alias queue. See your NetWare Manual for more information.
