HP 2700w USB Print Server manual Network printing terms and concepts, Signal range

Signal range

The range over which wireless devices can communicate depends on the physical environment and the orientation of the HP Jetdirect print server.

In general, while radio waves can bounce off obstacles to access print servers, it is best to have clear line-of-sight access between devices without obstacles through which the signal must pass.

NOTE: Signal range and wireless transmission performance is reduced with increasing distance between devices, and with obstacles that block or absorb signals.

Network printing terms and concepts

Client-server printing

On a client-server network, client computers send print jobs to a dedicated network server that controls the use of each installed printer. The HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs over the network under the network server’s control, or can automatically monitor print queues and de-spool print jobs from the network server.
