Chapter 3

Print Server Configuration

This chapter provides an overview of the configuration process.

Overview

The Print Server is designed to support many different platforms, and the configuration

required would depend upon the environment in which it is installed.

• The Print Server usually requires configuration. A Windows-based setup Wizard is

provided on the CD-ROM to simplify this task.

• PCs wishing to use the printer attached to the Print Server always require configuration.

See Chapter 4- Client Configuration for details.

• If using the PS723H Print Server with a NetWare Server (V3, 4, or 5 in "compatibility"

mode), the supplied Setup Wizard can also configure the NetWare Server for basic

operation.

• For advanced configuration and management, the BiAdmin program (detailed in

Chapter 6 - BiAdmin Management Utility) is recommended.

• If using NDPS, refer to Appendix B - Network Server Configuration.

• If you wish to use a queue-based printing system using Windows NT Server/Windows

2000, the Network Server must be configured as detailed in Appendix B - Network Server

Configuration. However, it is not necessary to use a Network Server-based queue; client

PCs can print directly to the Print Server using the Peer-to-peer Print Driver installed by

the User setup option on the CD-ROM.

PS7100 model supports Windows and Macintosh

environments only. (NetWare and UNIX are supported only by

the PS723H.)

Using the Windows Wizard

The Windows-based Wizard runs on Windows 95, 98, NT4.0, ME, Windows 2000 and XP.

It will configure the Print Server for your Network environment.

If using the PS723H Print Server with NetWare, the Wizard can also configure the NetWare

Server, provided:

• You are logged into the required NetWare server with ADMIN rights.

• NetWare Client32 is installed on the PC you are using for configuration.

Procedure

1. Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your drive. If the setup program does not start

automatically, run SETUP in the root folder.

2. Run the Setup Wizard, either by using this option on the first installation screen, or by

selecting it from the menu after running the Installation option.

Select the Administrator option when running the Installation.

This will install both the Setup Wizard and the BiAdmin

management program.
