purchase of your new TRENDnet TE-350 Print Server. [. . . ] Select Printer Server Configuration then select File Server To Be Serviced. Insert the file server names of the other file servers to be serviced by your TE-350. Reset the TE-350 by activating the Reset Device function from PSCONFIG or turning the power of the TE-350 off and on. Attach to more than one NetWare Print Server If your TE-350 plays the role of a remote printer and you want each print port of the TE-350 to attach to a different NetWare Print Server, then do the following: 1. Create the printer names for your TE-350 in the other NetWare Print Server you want your TE-350 as described in Chapter 3. Run PSCONFIG and select Set to NetWare Remote Printer Mode in PSCONFIG. Enter the correct NetWare print server names in the print server name fields, then select Execute Setup. Logical Printer Function In the print server mode in the NetWare environment, there are three logical printers for TE-350. A logical printer is an advanced device driver that allows you to manipulate print data before sending it to the printer. The TE-350 provides three ways to manipulate print data: · · Add a pre-string in front of a print job. Convert Line Feed code into Line Feed code + Carriage Return code. · Add a post-string after a print job. Suppose a user sets the printer to Landscape Mode and forgot to set it back to Portrait after the print job was finished. The following user who wants to have a Portrait printout will get an erroneous print format. Edit the pre-string of logical printer 1 to be the printer commands of landscape print and the post-string of logical printer 1 to be the printer reset command. Edit the pre-string of logical printer 2 to be the printer commands of Portrait print and the post-string of logical printer 2 to be the printer reset command. 2. The user who wants to have a Landscape print format can send the print job to logical printer 1. The user who wants to have a Portrait print format can send the print job to logical printer 2. 30 Advanced Functions Configuring Logical Printers In NetWare, before you can use a logical printer, you must create the logical printer for your TE-350 using PCONSOLE and assign a print queue to the printer. When creating logical printers, be sure to select printers greater than 7 from the Configured Printer listing. Also keep in mind that selecting printer 8 corresponds to Logical printer L1, selecting printer 9 corresponds to Logical printer L2, . . . . . . . . . and selecting printer 15 corresponds to Logical printer L8. To define pre-string, post-string, and the physical output port of a logical printer, do the following: 1. Select Logical Printer Configuration and edit the following items then send them to your TE-350 as described in Send Setup Information to the TE-350 under the appropriate Print Server mode section in Chapter 3. Ln Physical Port: Ln String Before Job: Ln String After Job: Ln Convert LF to CR+LF: Ln Physical Port TE-350 has 1 parallel port, Ln is for logic printers L1 to L3 respectively. If the character length of a pre-string or poststring is over 15, the succeeding characters will be truncated. Likewise, the total memory space for the eight logical printer pre-strings and poststrings is 44 bytes, any succeeding characters 31 TE-350 Print Server will be truncated. Get Printer Status The printer status will tell you whether the printer is on-line, off-line, printing, idle or whether or not it is a print job sent from NetWare protocol. The printer status displayed in PSCONFIG will not be automatically updated. [. . . ] Means that the printer SC110049 has connected to the NetWare print server PS1 Describes the status of the Printer_name connected to the Print Server. The status can be the following: Description Connected Unable to find server Printer not defined Connecting to server 2. 3. Action No action Load NetWare Print Server Install the TE-350 as a remote printer of a NetWare print server. Wait or check if the NetWare print server is loaded. If it plays the role of remote printer, check the Remote Printer Mode status. If it is not Ready, check the error description and do the corresponding action to remove the error condition. 46 Troubleshooting 4. [. . . ]
