Panasonic KX-P8420 User Manual

 

Before setting up client workstations, make sure you perform Network 
Setup on the printer, and that the settings reflect the entities you created in 

 

PCONSOLE

 

.

Client setup has two parts:

 

•

 

Install the PS printer driver on each Windows workstation.

 

•

 

Configure the printer driver to print to a print queue on a Novell file server.

For instructions on installing the appropriate printer driver for your system 
see “

For instructions on configuring the printer driver to print to a Novell file 
server print queue, see 

 for Windows 95, or 

 for 

Windows 3.1.

 

Macintosh users on an IPX network can print to the printer in two ways:

 

•

 

Directly, using AppleTalk and bypassing the NetWare server

 

•

 

Through a NetWare server running NetWare for Macintosh

Since the printer supports both AppleTalk and IPX protocols at the same 
time, it’s not necessary to use the second option. However, a network 
administrator may choose to route all print jobs through a server.

 

•

 

The printer can be attached to only one NetWare server at a time.

 

•

 

Printing via the AppleTalk port of Windows NT 4.0 is not recommended as 
it may cause additional, unnecessary pages to be printed.

Due to the layered design of networks, data can be transmitted using more 
than one network protocol. When Macintosh computers are connected to an 
IPX network, they can continue to transmit data over Ethernet cable using 
AppleTalk protocols. If the printer is on the same network, Macintosh 
computers can see and print to the printer, provided that AppleTalk is 
enabled on the Macintosh and in Network Protocol Setup.
