Technical Support Hot Line 1-800-CALCOMP (1-800-225-2667)      Updated 21 November 1996

1.   Verify the Novell server is running on 802.3 or Ethernet II frame type.
     From the server console type config to check frame types.

2.   On the File server console from the : prompt enter:

     SET ALLOW UNENCRYTED PASSWORDS=ON .
     SET BINDERY CONTEXT = O=(root context) .

     This should be added to the autoexec.ncf file. To edit the Autoexec.ncf
     file, type the following at the console:  

     LOAD INSTALL

     From the install screen select edit autoexec.ncf.
     The (root context) is the organization level of your NDS tree. 
     Up to 30 bindery contexts separated by commas are allowed.

3.   From the workstation login as supervisor and run PCONSOLE.

4.   Press the F4 key to activate bindery emulation.

5.   From the Available Options select Change Netware Server.

6.   Select the file server the 981 will logon to and contain the print queue.

7.   Select Print Servers. Bypass the message with the .

8.   Press  and enter print server name. FP(last six digits of the
     ethernet  address).

     Example:  For address 00C0E2000785 then enter FP000785

     NOTE: The Ethernet address is located on the bottom of the 981 unit,
     or on the documentation supplied with the 971 card.

9.   Press .

10.  From the Available Options select Print Queues.

11.  Press  and enter the print queue name.
     For the 981 device
 
     To have the Queue route to the parallel port, end the
     queue name with -P.

     To have the Queue route to the serial port, end the queue name with -S.

     Example: PRINTQUEUE-P,  or PRINTQUEUE-S.

12.  Press  to view queue details.

13.  Select Print Servers .

14.  Press .

15.  Select the FP(last six digits of the ethernet address)print server.

16.  Press  to exit PCONSOLE.

17.  Reset the power of the M981/M971.

18.  Verify the unit has logged onto the network by running PCONSOLE, selecting Print 
     Queue Information, Attached print servers, and verifying the Print Server FP(last six 
     digits) is attached. Or from the DOS prompt type NLIST USER and verify the 981/971 
     has logged on. It will display as a user by the name fp(last six digits)

Alternate Method

If you have several servers (more than 20) and want to decrease the login
time or want an alternate print server, print queue name, or plan to have
the print server and queue not in the organization level of the NDS tree,
then perform the following.

- Complete steps 1-7 above.
- For step 8, enter any name of the print server. Example: CALCOMP_PLOTTER.
- Complete steps 9-10 above.
- For step 11, enter any print queue name.  Example: QUEUE_FOR_PLOTTER.
- Complete steps 12-14 above.
- For step 15, select the print server name from step 8. CALCOMP_PLOTTER
- Press  to exit PCONSOLE.
- From the LOGIN directory of the SYS: volume, create a CALCOMP directory.
- Copy the FPSETUP.EXE program into this directory.
- Run FPSETUP with the following parameters.

  FPSETUP /e=(last six digits of ethernet address) /s=(file server)
  /q=(Queue_name) /p=(printserver_name /i=(interface, Parallel or serial)

  Example:
     Using the above names with a file server name of FS1, going to
     the M971/M981 Parallel port with an ethernet address of 00C0E2000785.

FPSETUP /e=000785 /s=FS1 q=QUEUE_FOR_PLOTTER /p=CALCOMP_PLOTTER /i=P

     For the 971 internal card use the interface option: /i=Parallel

- Cycle the power of the M981/M971.
- Verify the unit has logged onto the network by running PCONSOLE, 
  Print Queue Information, Currently Attached Servers, and verify the 
  Print Server (e.g., CALCOMP_PLOTTER) is attached. Or from the DOS prompt 
  type:
  
  NLIST USER
 
  and verify the 981/971 has logged on. It will display as a user by the 
  name of the print server. (e.g., CALCOMP_PLOTTER)


To send print/plot jobs to the Novell queue use any of the
following:

1. Run Pconsole
   From the Available Options select Print Queue Information
   Select the queue to send the job to.
   Press  to view queue details.
   Select current print jobs .
   Press .
   Type the path to the file to be printed. .
   Select the file and press 
   Set the parameters for the job e.g. banner off, suppress formfeed, etc.
   Press . save the settings. This will start the copy into the queue.

2. Run the Capture command from the DOS prompt to redirect
   the LPT port output to the Novell queue.

   Example:   capture L=1 q=queuename nff nb nt ti=300

   This will redirect lpt1 into the queue called queuename with
   no banner, no formfeed, no tabs and with a timeout.
