Communication Interfaces
IBM

Twinax Interface
This interface emulates IBM
®
System 3/X and AS/400 (5224, 5225, 5256,
and 4214) printers. This option comes with an auto-terminating 1 ft. Y-con-

Coax Interface
This interface emulates an IBM
®
System 3287 printer used in the IBM 3270
environment. This option comes with a BNC connector to interface to your
host mainframe’s controller.
ZebraNet™ (Ethernet) Interface
The ZebraNet™ Micro Print Server (MPS) provides ethernet connectivity
for your Zebra printer. The ZebraNet MPS is a multiprotocol print server. It
provides shared network access to a Zebra printer for a variety of network
protocols and operating systems. The MPS1-T provides a twisted pair
(10Base-T) connector for network connections and a parallel Centronics
®
port to which network nodes can spool print jobs. The MPS1-2 provides a
thinwire (10Base-2) connector and a parallel port for the same purposes.
Both servers can queue multiple pending jobs and service those jobs in the
order in which they are received from the hosts.
