Using the Ethernet Card Using Print Server Mode In Print Server mode, the Ethernet card in your printer performs all print server functions and can service up to 32 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 card, acting as the print server, sends the print job to the printer. The Ethernet card operates like any Novell NetWare print server, servicing the print queues in a round robin fashion. In queues of the same priority, the Ethernet card services the first job in a queue before those in a lower priority queue. The card also supports encrypted passwords. This mode provides the highest printing speed while retaining the control, security, and convenience of a NetWare print server. Using Remote Printer Mode As a remote printer, the Ethernet card emulates a workstation running Novell's RPRINTER program, and operates under the control of a Novell NetWare print server. The print server can be either a dedicated workstation running PSERVER or a file server. At power-up, the interface card will attempt to attach to a print server (elsewhere on the network) and act as a particular printer of that print server. To do this, it needs to know which print server to attach to, and which printer of that print server to use. This is similar to specifying these parameters in the RPRINTER command line (or to interactively choose them from the RPRINTER program). You can set up these parameters on the Ethernet card with the EPSON Net! utility. Once the interface card is set up, it stores these settings, which means that you normally only need to do 6-23
