Network Destination Option: Requirements

19. Network Destination Option

“Brushed-up” Functionality and Terminology

On servers running release levels 2111 and higher, the main
path is “Configurations > Output Control > Network Destination
Option” and the configuration page is called [Network Destina-
tion Option].

The terminology used for the Network Destination Option was
also changed in order to make it easier for new users to under-
stand and exploit NDO. Users of older print servers should find
it easy to spot which terms “translate” to which.

19.1.

Requirements

You can configure and save the configurations for up to four
“Network Destinations”.

G22-based print servers: You will not be prevented from saving
NDO configurations if you have no NDO key. However, all
printed output will be routed to the local printer. In addition, an
error will be written to the System Log (see

““Status > System

Log”” [page 176]

).

Recommended Features for Network Target Printers

The print server retrieves printer status information from the
Network Target Printer through SNMP. For this to function
properly, a network printer must support the status information
nodes defined in the Printer MIB (RFC1759) and some host
information nodes of the Host Resources MIB (RFC1518).

If the target printer lacks these features, printer halts (Paper
jam, Paper out, Off-line etc.) at a Network Target Printer will be
interpreted by the print server as “busy” until a user has fixed
the problem.
