M202/M212 v5.6.3 Release Notes (Con’t)

Microplex Printing System (MPS) for Windows

Prior to version 5.6.3 of the M202/M212, the only Windows print meth-

ods available were those provided with the operating system. Now with

this new ﬁrmware version, Microplex has introduced “MPS” as an alter-

native direct socket print method for Windows NT and Windows 95 envi-

ronments.

To conﬁgure a new MPS printer on a Windows station, you will need to:

1 Insert the Microplex diskette labeled “MPS” into the ﬂoppy drive. If

you got MPS from Microplex’s FTP or Web site, you can jump to

Step 3.

2 Load up the File Manager or WinFile and look under the ﬂoppy drive

for an MPS ZIP ﬁle.

3 Double click on the MPS ZIP ﬁle to extract all ﬁles within it to a

directory on the Windows station.

4 Once extracted to a directory, ﬁnd the “Setup” ﬁle and double click on

this to load the InstallShield Wizard.

5 Answer the prompts throughout the wizard and select “Yes” to restart

your computer at the end.

6 Once your computer is rebooted, open the Settings:Printer folder to

view your existing printers.

Note: MPS will only work with an existing printer.

Therefore, if you don’t have an existing printer that

you can alter, create one now using any port set-

tings you’d like. These will be changed in the fol-

lowing steps anyways.

7 Select the printer that you want to use with MPS and click on the right

mouse button to bring up a sub-menu.

8 Select “Properties” from this menu to display the current settings for

this printer.

9 Click on the “Details” tab to display the printer’s port settings.

10 Click on the ADD PORT button.

11 At the “Add Port” dialogue box that displays, click on the radio but-

ton labeled “Other”.

12 Click on “Microplex TCP/IP Printer Port” from within this “Other”

list.

13 At the next dialogue box that displays, ﬁll in the host name or IP

address of the M202/M212 in the ﬁrst ﬁeld.

14 Fill in a valid TCP port number on the M202/M212 in the second

ﬁeld. The choices are 4000 for COM1, 4200 for COM2, 4400 for

PRN1, and 4600 for PRN2 depending upon which port your printer is

attached to.
