If you are configuring the EPL-N2000 as a print server, go to the next section in this chapter. If you are configuring the EPL-N2000 as a remote printer, go to "Configuring the EPL-N2000 as a Remote Printer." If you want to configure the printer to switch automatically between these two modes, go to "Configuring the EPL-N2000 to Switch Modes" at the end of the chapter. Configuring the EPL-N2000 as a Print Server In Print Server mode, the EPL-N2000 performs all print server functions and can service up to 32 print queues and eight file servers. No VAP (Value-Added Process) or NLM (NetWare Loadable Module® ) is required. When you send a print job from your application, the file server assigns the print job to a print queue. When the corresponding printer is ready, the EPL-N2000 sends the job to the printer. Like any NetWare print server, the EPL-N2000 services the assigned queues in round robin fashion, and services higher priority queues before those of lower priority. For added security, the EPL-N2000 supports encrypted passwords. Since the EPL-N2000 is set to Print Server mode by default, you don't need to make any special settings to use it as a print server. However, you do need to assign it print queues on a NetWare file server, or on multiple NetWare file servers. Assigning Print Queues on a Single NetWare File Server This section explains how to assign print queues on a single NetWare file server to an EPL-N2000 configured as a print server. If you want to set up queues on multiple NetWare file servers, "Assigning Print Queues on Multiple NetWare File Servers" later in this chapter. 2-4 Configuring the EPL-N2000 for NetWare

Configuring the EPL-N2000 for NetWare
If you are configuring the EPL-N2000 as a print server, go to
the next section in this chapter. If you are configuring the
EPL-N2000 as a remote printer, go to “Configuring the
EPL-N2000 as a Remote Printer.” If you want to configure
the printer to switch automatically between these two
modes, go to “Configuring the EPL-N2000 to Switch Modes”
at the end of the chapter.
Configuring the EPL-N2000 as a Print Server
In Print Server mode, the EPL-N2000 performs all print server
functions and can service up to 32 print queues and eight file
servers. No VAP (Value-Added Process) or NLM (NetWare
Loadable Module
®
) is required. When you send a print job from
your application, the file server assigns the print job to a print
queue. When the corresponding printer is ready, the EPL-N2000
sends the job to the printer.
Like any NetWare print server, the EPL-N2000 services the
assigned queues in round robin fashion, and services higher
priority queues before those of lower priority. For added
security, the EPL-N2000 supports encrypted passwords.
Since the EPL-N2000 is set to Print Server mode by default, you
don’t need to make any special settings to use it as a print server.
However, you do need to assign it print queues on a NetWare
file server, or on multiple NetWare file servers.
Assigning Print Queues on a Single NetWare File Server
This section explains how to assign print queues on a single
NetWare file server to an EPL-N2000 configured as a print
server. If you want to set up queues on multiple NetWare file
servers, “Assigning Print Queues on Multiple NetWare File
Servers” later in this chapter.
