The TROY PocketPro 100S print server can connect to either a 100baseTX Fast Ethernet network or a 10baseT Ethernet network. It automatically senses the type of network, so no configuration is required.
To connect the TROY PocketPro 100S to a 10baseT unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet network, you will need an unshielded twisted pair Ethernet hub with at least one unused port installed on your network, plus an appropriate length of RJ45 modular cable.
To connect the TROY PocketPro 100S to a 100baseTX Fast Ethernet network, you will need a 100baseTX Fast Ethernet hub with at least one unused port, plus an appropriate length of Category 5 RJ45 modular cable.
Connect one end of the RJ45 cable to the print server connector labeled "100baseTX/10baseT", and then connect the other end to a port on the twisted pair Ethernet hub. The TROY PocketPro 100S will automatically determine whether it is connected to a 10baseT or 100baseTX network.
The printer reset is a sequence of characters that is sent to the printer after the job is completed. It ensures that the last page of the job is ejected from the printer and that the printer is reset to its default state so that the next job will print properly.
The default printer reset for a TROY PocketPro 100S print server is a null, except on the TCP/IP text service, which has <Formfeed> as the default. A null reset means that some print jobs may not be ejected upon completion. Some operating systems, such as NetWare, provide the ability to insert a reset sequence at the end of each job, in which case the TROY PocketPro 100S null reset is adequate. Also, Microsoft Windows printer drivers typically provide a printer reset at the end of each job. But for those operating systems that do not provide this reset capability, the TROY PocketPro 100S provides the ability to customize the printer reset to meet the requirements of virtually any type of printer. The following predefined reset strings are available:
No. | Definition | Printer |
1 | Null (use if no reset is desired) | |
2 | <ESC>E | PCL printer |
3 |
| PostScript printer |
4 | PJL (use with newer HP and Lexmark/IBM printers) | |
11 | <Formfeed> | General |
