Configuring the Printer With NetPilot

Configuring your Tally printer through NetPilot happens in two dialogs, 

the Network dialog and the Properties dialog.

Network Dialog

The Network dialog allows you to change the interface settings for 

NetBEUI/NetBIOS, Appletalk and IPX/SPX networks. 

NetWare Network Settings

The Network dialog allows you to change your printer’s print server, the 

bindery file server and the banner type. The NetWare dialog window will 

display your connection to the printer.

The printer can operate in either print server mode or remote printer 

mode. The following briefly explains the advantages and disadvantages of 

each mode.

Print Server Mode

In this mode, the file server is logged in and the printer queue is 

repeatedly polled to determine whether a printer job exists. The NetWare 

print server, or workstation on which PSERVER runs, is emulated. This 

enables high-speed printing without applying a load to the network. In 

this print server mode, a single-user NetWare license is required. 

Remote Printer Mode

In this mode, a connection is made to a dedicated workstation that is 

executing PSERVER.NLM or PSERVER.EXE. A print job is received 

from the file server via the NetWare print server. The network interface 

emulates the workstation on which the NetWare RPRINTER and 

NPRINTER operate. This mode is recommended for a small-scale 

network. 

To reference the print queue, you must first log on to either the file server 

or NDS tree.

Using Print Server Mode will allow for easy installation and high speed, 

but will require one license for each connection to the file server. Using 

Remote Printer Mode is slower, and adds additional traffic to the network, 

but it doesn’t require any additional licenses.
