NetWare Network Setup Procedures
To use a NetWare network, it is necessary to perform the following procedures.
1
Network Cable Connection (See Chapter 1, "Before You Start Using This
Machine," in the PCL Printer Guide.)
Connect the network cables in accordance with the PCL Printer Guide.
2
NetWare Print Service Settings (See "NetWare Print Service Settings," on p. 3-
Specify the NetWare print service settings. To specify the settings, use:
•
NetSpot Device Installer (Canon software included on the Network User Software CD-ROM)
•
NetSpot Console (via a web browser) (Canon software included on the Network User Software CD-ROM)
•
NWADMIN or PCONSOLE (Novell software provided with NetWare)
3
Protocol Settings (See "Protocol Settings," on p. 3-8.)
4
Specify the protocol settings. To specify the settings, use:
•
NetSpot Device Installer (Canon software included on the Network User Software CD-ROM)
•
NetSpot Console (via a web browser) (Canon software included on the Network User Software CD-ROM)
•
A web browser (Remote UI)
•
An FTP client
Computer Settings for Printing (See "Setting Up a Computer for Printing," on p. 3-10.)
Specify the settings for each computer you use for printing.
IMPORTANT
•
•
It is recommended that the network manager perform steps 1, 2, and 3 above.
To configure settings with software other than NetSpot Console or NetSpot Device
Installer, TCP/IP protocol must be supported by your network environment.
• When printing in a NetWare network, disable the banner page.
3-2 NetWare Network Setup Procedures
NetWare Print Service Settings
To print using a NetWare network, you need to specify print service settings, including the print server and queue settings. You can use any of the software listed below to specify the print service settings from your computer. Specify the settings using the easiest method.
• NetSpot Device Installer (Canon software included on the Network User Software
CD-ROM)
• NetSpot Console (via a web browser) (Canon software included on the Network
User Software CD-ROM)
• NWADMIN or PCONSOLE (Novell software provided with NetWare)
IMPORTANT
• To specify the print service settings from NetSpot Console or NWADMIN, the computer must have Novell Client (NetWare Client by Novell) installed.
• The following procedures explain a sample NetWare setup procedure. Depending on your environment, the actual setup procedure may differ.
Types of Print Service
Before specifying print service settings, refer to the following descriptions to determine the type of print service you are using.
NOTE
• Normally with NetWare 4.x or later, it is recommended that you use NDS print service.
With NetWare 3.x, it is recommended that you use Bindery print service. This manual describes procedures for these two combinations only.
• With NetWare 5.x, you can use NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). If using NDPS, the gateway should be the Novell printer gateway provided with NetWare. This manual does not describe NDPS settings. For NDPS settings, see the NetWare manual.
■ NDS (Novell Directory Service) and Bindery Mode
This machine supports both NDS and Bindery mode.
Determine the appropriate mode according to the network environment you are using. (If you are using NetWare 3.x, only the Bindery mode is available.)

■ Queue Server Mode and Remote Printer Mode
This machine supports both queue server mode and remote printer mode.
• Queue Server Mode
When the machine is used in the queue server mode, all print server functions are provided by the machine itself; no other print server hardware or software is required. In
NDS queue server mode (NDS PServer), the NDS print server is used for printing. In
Bindery queue server mode (Bindery PServer), the Bindery print server is used for printing. In queue server mode, a separate NetWare user operating license is required for each machine.
• Remote Printer Mode
In the remote printer mode, a NetWare print server is required to control the printer. The machine prints using the NDS print server in NDS remote printer mode (NPrinter), and the
Bindery print server in Bindery remote printer mode (RPrinter).
Settings Using NetSpot Console or NetSpot Device
Installer
You can install NetSpot Console or NetSpot Device Installer from the Network User
Software CD-ROM provided with the machine, and use it to specify the protocol settings on the computer you are using.
For instructions on how to install NetSpot Console or NetSpot Device Installer and how to specify the protocol settings using NetSpot Console or NetSpot Device
Installer, see "NetSpot Console," on p. 5-3, or "NetSpot Device Installer," on p. 5-2,
respectively.

Setting Up a Computer for Printing
After you have completed NetWare print service settings and printer protocol settings, you are ready to set up each of the computers for printing.
Connecting to a NetWare Network
In order to use a NetWare network, all computers that will perform printing need to have NetWare client software installed. For details, see your NetWare and operating system manuals.
Installing Printer Drivers
NetSpot Console or NetSpot Device Installer is software for specifying printer and network settings.
Printing from a computer requires the installation of a printer driver. (See Chapter 1,
"Before You Start Using This Machine," in the PCL Driver Guide.) In the installation procedure, select the network printer as the printer destination, and select the print
queue that you created in "NetWare Print Service Settings," on p. 3-3.
Setting the Printer Destination
1
On the [Start] menu, point to [Settings]
➞ click [Printers] ➞ right click the icon of the machine you will use for printing
➞ click [Properties].
2
Click the [Details] tab or the [Port] tab to display the [Details] sheet or the [Port] sheet
➞ set the printer destination port to
the print queue you created in "NetWare Print Service
3
Click [OK] to enable the settings.
NOTE
If you set up the printer destination when you installed the printer driver, this step is not necessary.
