2.2 How to Switch off Selected Protocols
The print server frequently sends data telegrams to the network using multiple protocols. To minimise
this network traffic you can switch off the print server protocols.
You can deactivate the protocols under Windows (IPX protocol) by using the Administration Tool.
Under TCP/IP you can edit the configuration file named
params
which can be loaded and saved via
FTP. You also can switch off the protocols within an Internet Browser (TCP/IP).

✔ ✔
After the „IPX Print services“ are switched off, the print server continues sending broadcast
messages to the network. This is necessary for the Administration Tool to find the
print servers in the network.
Should all Novell packets be switched off, then all Frame Header types of Novell must also
be deactivated on the print server.
