Queue-based Printing Methods
The following overview explains the advantages and limitations
of the two supported queue-based printing methods.
Print Server Mode The AXIS 5900 logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly polls the
print queues for print jobs. In this fashion, the AXIS 5900
emulates a NetWare print server, which is a workstation running
PSERVER. It provides high printing speed with low network load
and is the recommended mode for medium to large sized
networks. Each print server in PSERVER mode takes one
NetWare user license.
Advantages • High performance: up to 1 Mbyte/s.
Limitations • In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user
licence for each AXIS 5900 to file server link.
Remote Printer Mode The AXIS 5900 acts as Remote Printer for PSERVER.NLM
running on the NetWare file server, or to a dedicated
workstation running PSERVER.EXE. In this fashion, the AXIS
5900 emulates a workstation running the NetWare remote
printer software RPRINTER, or NPRINTER. This mode is only
recommended for small networks where the number 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.
