The DocuColor 40 CP looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery
server.
•
Each print server can store jobs for any print connection on the DocuColor 40 CP.
Overview of IPX printing to the DocuColor 40 CP
NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for
print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to
a print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk,
freeing up the client workstation.
The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct connection,
Hold queue, and Print queue on the DocuColor 40 CP. The NetWare queue names
should be given an extension corresponding to the DocuColor 40 CP print
connection, as follows:
_print
_hold
_direct
N
OTE
:
The extensions must be in all lowercase and must be in English.
There is no need to rerun Setup when adding or removing a NetWare queue; however
you should reboot the DocuColor 40 CP after a queue is created or removed.
When the DocuColor 40 CP is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the
NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are transferred
over the network to the matching connection: Print to Print, Hold to Hold, Direct to
Direct. While a job is processed and printed, a record of the job is being created. You
can access the Job Log containing these records at any time.
