The Lantronix Micro Print Server (MPS) is a multiprotocol print server that provides 
shared network access to printers for a variety of network protocols and operating 
systems. The MPS supports the AppleTalk (EtherTalk), Microsoft LAN Manager, Local 
Area Transport (LAT), IPX (NetWare), and TCP/IP protocols. The MPS can queue 
multiple pending jobs and service those jobs in the order that they are received from the 
hosts. The Centronics parallel port on the back of the MPS is compatible with the 
Hewlett-Packard Bitronics interface, which allows bi-directional communication on the 
parallel port. 
There are three MPS models which are the same except for the Ethernet interface used. 
The MPS1-T has an RJ45 port for 10BASE-T connections, the MPS1-2 has a BNC 
connector for 10BASE-2 connections, and the MPS100 can auto-negotiate between 
10BASE-T and 100BASE-T media connected to its RJ45 port. The features, installation 
process, and conÞguration procedures are the same.
 
NOTE:
 
In this manual, all MPS models will be referred to as Òthe MPSÓ or 
Òthe ServerÓ unless a distinction needs to be made between them.
