Preparing the
Printer
If the printer can generate a test or status page, you should
generate one before you begin.
1. Make sure that the printer is operating properly. Check to
see that paper is in the paper tray and toner cartridge is
full. If the printer handles multiple printer languages,
make sure it is set up for automatic emulation sensing or
PCL or ASCII mode.
2. Turn off the printer and remove the power cord.
3. Install the Network Interface Card in the option port,
according to the printer manufacturer instructions.
Note
Handling Precautions for Static Sensitive Devices:
The Network Interface Card is designed to protect sensitive
components from damage due to electrostatic discharge
(ESD) during normal operation. When performing installation
procedures, however, take proper static control precautions to
prevent damage to equipment.

Powering Up
the Printer
Use the following procedures to power up the printer:
1. Plug in the power cord.
2. Turn on the power and wait for the printer to warm up.
The printer may print out a status or start-up page (if this
option is not disabled). The Network Interface Card then
provides a print job to the printer which contains the
Network Interface Card status information. Refer to
Status Report (page 6-4) for more information.
3. Check the Network Interface Card status report. Record
the serial number and the Ethernet address or save the
status report. You need this information when you
configure the printer for your network.
4. Power down the printer.
5. Connect the Ethernet cable between the Network
Interface Card and a network drop.
Go to one or more of the appropriate chapters for instructions
on configuring the network for the Network Interface Card.

Chapter 3: NetWare Configuration ❖3-3
Overview Use this chapter if you will be printing from a Novell NetWare
NOS. This chapter is divided into the following sections:
Configuring NetWare 2.15 and 3.1x describes how to
configure the Network Interface Card (NIC) for use with
Versions 2.15 or 3.1x. Use PCONSOLE to set up the print
server function.
Configuring NetWare 4.0x in Bindery Emulation
describes how to configure the NIC for use with Version
4.0x  Bindery Services. Use PCONSOLE to set up the
print server function.
Configuring the NIC in NetWare Directory Services
describes how to configure the NIC for use with Version
4.0x Directory Services. Use NWADMIN to set up the
print server function.
Using the NIManage Utility describes the NIC
management utility that configures the print server and
troubleshoots problems.
Using NetWare Utilities explains how to use standard
Novell NetWare utilities to make changes to the
configuration of the Print Server function.

NetWare Configuration
3-4 ❖DocuPrint 4512/4512N Network Interface Card User Guide
Configuring
NetWare 2.15
and 3.1x
Before configuring the NIC for NetWare, you must determine
if the NIC has its desired name. If you want to change the
name, use NIManage to change the name. Refer to Using
the NIManage Utility (page 3-28) for more details.
The following steps are the general procedure for configuring
the NIC. You must have supervisor privileges to do this
configuration. These steps are covered in detail in the
following paragraphs:
1. Start PCONSOLE and select the file server you want to
use.
2. Create the print queues.
3. Specify the <print server> card as a print server.
4. Configure the print server and printer.
5. Assign the print queues.
6. Set up the NOTIFY options.
7. Repeat the procedure for other file servers.
When you are finished, turn the printer off and on again. The
printer creates a status report that indicates the fileservers to
which the unit is attached and the queues which it services.
Before you begin:
 Verify that you have supervisor privileges on the file
servers on which the NIC print server is to be entered.
 Verify that your version of PCONSOLE is later than 1.0.

NIManage. The screen example shows how to enter the
print server name for a print server with a serial number
of XRX_123456.
4. Press to add the print server name to the Print
Servers list.

Configuration screen appears with a title of Printer 0, as
shown in the following example.
5. If you choose to, change default in the Name field on this
form to something that helps you identify the printer, for
example, LASER_PRINTER. The print server uses this
name in its message back to the users on the Notify list.
Select Name, enter a name, and then press .
6. Select Type and press . A list of printer types is
displayed. Choose Remote Other/Unknown and press
