WLAN network

You can connect your machine to a PC using a USB cable or make a wireless connection (via radio) with a PC or network.

Beware, when you are using a wireless connection, that certain items of medical equipment, sensitive or security systems may be affected by the radio transmissions of your device; in all cases, please follow safety guidelines closely.

If you have a WLAN adaptor, you can incorporate your machine as a network printer into a radio network. This works only with an approved adaptor that you can obtain from our ordering department.

Type of radio network

A radio network or WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is created when at least two computers, printers or other peripheral devices communicate with each other in a network via radio waves (high frequency waves). The transmission of data in the radio network is based on the standards 802.11b and 802.11g. According to how the network is set up, it may be described as an infrastructure network or an ad-hoc network.

Radio infrastructure network

In an infrastructure network, several devices communicate via a central access point (a gateway or router). All data is sent to the access point (gateway or router) from where it is re-distributed.

Radio ad-hoc network

In an ad-hoc network, the devices communicate directly with each other without passing through an access point. The speed of communication across the whole radio network is as fast as the weakest connection in the network. The speed of communication is also dependent on spatial distance between transmitter and receiver, as

well as the number of barriers, such as walls or ceilings. networkWLAN

Radio networks (WLAN)

Three steps are necessary to incorprate your machine into a radio network (WLAN):

1Configure the network to your PC.

2Set up the parameters for your machine so that it can function in a network.

3Having set up the parameters your device, install the Companion Suite LL software onto your PC with the necessary printer drivers.

The PC and all other devices must have their parameters set up to the same network as the multifunction machine. All the details needed for setting up the device, such as the network names (SSID), type of radio network, WEP key, IP address or subnetwork mask, must match the specifications of the network.

You will find these details on your PC or on the Access Point.

To find out how to set up the parameters for your PC, please consult the users’ manual for your WLAN adaptor. For large networks, please seek the advice of your network administrator.

You can be sure of perfect communication if you use an approved adaptor in conjunction with your PC.

All of the latest printer drivers for the approved adaptor may be found on our website together with further information.
