8. Setting up the network server
Xerox DocuColor 2006

Printing on a NetWare 3.x, 4.x or 5.x network
The NetWise™ features built into the DocuColor 2006 supports the
following network operating environments:
•
NetWare 5.x—Bindery and Novell Directory Services (NDS)
•
NetWare 4.x—Novell Directory Services (NDS)
•
NetWare 3.x—Bindery services
•
Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode
The term
bindery server
refers to a Novell file server running NetWare
3.x or running NetWare 4.x and NetWare 5.x in emulation mode.
The term
NDS
describes components of a NetWare operating system
running NetWare 4.x in native mode.
Ethernet-based and Token Ring-based NetWare networks support the
IPX/SPX protocol. Token Ring-based NetWare networks also support
TCP/IP.
Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the cooperation of the
Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privileges on the
network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
NetWare clients print to the DocuColor 2006 through the Novell
network server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined in
this chapter.
For information about client setup and printing refer to the installation
and printing chapters that are appropriate for the operating system.
The DocuColor 2006 can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over
the Ethernet or Token Ring network topologies. During printer setup,
you select the frame type(s) that will be used for communication
between the DocuColor 2006 and the network servers. Frame type
refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are
specified in a startup file when the NetWare server (or any other
workstation) loads its network drivers.
IPX-supported client workstations running Windows 95/98 and
Windows NT 4.0 communicate directly to the printer, not through the
NetWare server. Windows 2000 does not support the web-based Fiery
utilities.
