Connecting the Printer to a Network
To set up network printing, enable IPX/SPX Setup from the printer panel 
(
), and set up the PServer using 
WebSetup after configuring the NetWare server (
This section explains how to set up the NetWare server so that networked 
users can print to the printer from their workstations. There are two stages 
to this setup:
The network administrator must set up a print queue on the NetWare 
server so users can print to it, and the printer can receive print jobs 
from it.
Optionally, the administrator can set up the server for network installation 
of PostScript printer drivers on client workstations.
Before configuring a NetWare file server for printing to the KX-PS8100, 
make sure that it is connected to a functioning IPX network. Then, log in as 
the supervisor on a PC connected to the NetWare file server, and configure 
the file server as described in the following sections.
Before you begin, you’ll need to determine the following names:
The name of the NetWare file server on which you will define the printer 
as a new print server.
The name of the NetWare print server. This name is used for 
communication between the printer and the NetWare file server.
The name to assign to the KX-PS8100 Direct, Print or Hold queue. If you 
are defining a Hold queue, the last five characters must be 
_hold
. You 
need to set up at least one print queue on the NetWare server for jobs 
that will be printed by the printer. Users will see and print to the name you 
assign to the Print queue.
Names should be as brief and descriptive as possible. Server names 
cannot begin with a period and cannot include spaces or punctuation 
characters other than periods.
To complete network setup, you will need to log in to the NetWare file 
server and the new print server from the printer. You will need a login 
name and, if access to the server is restricted, a login password.
