The printer’s NetWare interface supports the Print Server (PSERVER) operating 
mode.  Under the NetWare networking model, print jobs are stored in queues 
(directories) on a file server.  A print server takes print jobs from the queues and 
sends them to printers.  In your Tektronix printer, the print server resides within the 
internal interface of the printer, so the print server and the printer are one.  The 
printer logs in to a file server using a login connection to service specified queues. 

The printer’s NetWare interface supports Bindery and NDS connection modes 
separately or simultaneously.

The printer’s NetWare interface has been tested with NetWare versions 3.12, 4.1, and 
4.11.  It should work with any NetWare server that uses NetWare’s QMS (Queue 
Management System) to manage and service print queues.  These servers include 
80286-, 80386-, and 80486-based servers running other versions of NetWare (for 
example, versions 2.15, 2.2, 3.0, 3.11, 4.0), DOS and OS/2-based systems, VMS 
servers, and servers running UnixWare.   The PhaserShare NetWare interface is not 
compatible with systems running NetWare Lite.
