Frequently Asked Questions - TE100-MFP1 TRENDNET

How do I set up the TRENDnet TE100-MFP1 print server?

Connect the print server to your network via Ethernet, attach your printer using USB or parallel cable, then power on. Use the included Setup Wizard CD or download the utility from TRENDnet's website to configure IP settings and install drivers.

Which printers are compatible with the TE100-MFP1?

The TE100-MFP1 supports most USB and parallel printers. It works with both inkjet and laser printers. For a full list, check TRENDnet's compatibility list on their support page.

Can I use the print server with a wireless printer?

No, the TE100-MFP1 is a wired print server and requires a physical Ethernet connection. It does not support wireless printers directly.

How do I configure the IP address of the print server?

You can set the IP via the web interface (default IP 192.168.0.100) or using the TRENDnet Print Server Utility. Alternatively, enable DHCP to get an IP automatically.

What should I do if my computer cannot find the print server?

Ensure the print server is powered on and connected to the network. Check that your computer is on the same subnet. Use the utility to scan for the device. If still not found, reset the print server to factory defaults by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds.

Does the TE100-MFP1 support Mac OS?

Yes, it supports macOS via LPR/LPD or IPP. You may need to install the appropriate drivers from TRENDnet's website. The setup utility is Windows-based, but manual configuration is possible on Mac.

How do I update the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from TRENDnet's support page. Access the print server's web interface, go to Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade, and upload the file. Do not power off during update.

The print server is not printing after setup. What could be wrong?

Check that the printer is powered on and properly connected. Verify the printer is set as default on your computer. Test the printer locally by connecting directly to a PC. Ensure the print server has a valid IP address and is reachable.

Can I use multiple printers with one TE100-MFP1?

No, the TE100-MFP1 has only one USB and one parallel port. It can support up to two printers simultaneously (one on each port).

What is the default login for the web interface?

The default username is admin and password is 1234 (or blank). For security, change it after first login. Refer to the manual for exact defaults.
