NetWareSection 4: Setting Up - NetWare AXIS 1620 User’s Manual44Printing MethodsThe following overview explains the advantages and limitations of thetwo supported Netware printing methods.Print Server Mode The AXIS 1620 logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly polls the printqueues for print jobs. In this fashion, the AXIS 1620 emulates aNetWare print server, which is a workstation running PSERVER. Itprovides high printing speed with low network load and is therecommended mode for medium to large sized networks. Each printserver in PSERVER mode takes one NetWare user license.Advantages • High performance, typically up to 1 Mbyte/s.Limitations • In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare userlicence for each AXIS 1620 to file server link.Remote Printer Mode The AXIS 1620 connects to a PSERVER NetWare program runningon the file server, or to a dedicated workstation runningPSERVER.EXE. It then automatically receives print jobs from the fileserver. In this fashion, the AXIS 1620 emulates a workstation runningthe NetWare remote printer software RPRINTER, or NPRINTER.This mode is only recommended for small networks where thenumber of NetWare user licences is a major issue.Advantages • NetWare user licences are not required.Limitations • Lower performance, typically 20 - 70 kbytes/s for NLM.• Higher network load.
