You can set up these parameters on the Ethernet Card with the
EPSON Net! utility. Once the interface card is set up, it will
store these settings, which means that you will normally only
need to do this once at the time of installation. However, as
with all Novell remote printers, the card's print speed is slower
in Remote Printer mode than in Print Server mode.
The main advantage of Remote Printer mode is that connection
to a file server is not required, making this mode desirable in
installations with limited available file server connections.
Each NetWare print server can support up to 16 printers and
requires only one file server connection.
To use the card in Remote Printer mode, see page 2-12.
Auto Print Server/Remote Printer mode
In Auto Print Server/Remote Printer mode, the Ethernet Card
provides automatic switching between print server and remote
printer operation, depending on network conditions. If the
Ethernet Card has the same name as the main Novell print
server on your network, it detects the presence of the print
server and operates as a remote printer. If your primary print
server becomes unavailable, the Ethernet Card automatically
switches modes to provide print server backup.
As a print server, the Ethernet Card requires a connection to a
file server. For more information about operating the Ethernet
Card as a print server, see the following section.
As a remote printer, the Ethernet Card emulates a workstation
running Novell's RPRINTER program. For more information
about this mode, see "Using the Ethernet Card in Remote
Printer Mode" on page 2-12.
As a print server/remote printer, the Ethernet Card acts as and
needs to be set up as both a print server and a remote printer.
To use the card in Auto Print Server/Remote Printer mode, see
page 2-16.
