Printing to Apple LaserWriter NT/NTX on Novell Network
ID: Q37985
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.5
SUMMARY
You will have problems printing from Microsoft Word to Apple
LaserWriter NT/NTX printers on a Novell network if your setup is
incorrect. The Apple "LaserWriter NT/NTX Owner's Guide" incorrectly
states that the printer uses 96 baud, XON/XOFF handshake, and 7
databits in its communications protocol. This information is
incorrect.
The LaserWriter NTX does not use XON/XOFF, and it uses 8 databits and
a baud rate of 9600. Novell has reported that printing across the
Novell network from Word is not a problem if the settings below are
used.
This information applies to Microsoft Word for MS-DOS versions 4.0,
5.0, and 5.5.
MORE INFORMATION
If you are using Novell NetWare version 2.1 or later, do the
following:
- Use the Custom Installation of the NETGEN process under Printer
Maintenance (a Novell utility) to set XON/XOFF to No, the baud rate
to 9600, parity to none, databits to 8, and the stopbit to 1.
- Set the Tabs and Banner flags to No in the CAPTURE statement
(Novell command).
If you are using a Novell NetWare version earlier than version 2.1, do
the following:
- Specify the serial-mode settings in Option 7 of the system Install
program. Set the baud rate to 9600, parity to none, databits to 8,
and the stopbit to 1.
- Set Tabs and Banner flags to No in the SPOOL statement.
