INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Important considerations must be followed for the successful installation of additional Slave PC Adapters to an existing Wireless Printer Network installation:
∙The installation of a new Slave PC Adapter can only be made with one Master Printer Adapter at a time.
∙Successful searching and pairing cannot be accomplished if a Master Printer Adapter, other than the one being used during the installation procedures above, is unplugged from its printer’s USB port and left
PRINTING CONSIDERATIONS
∙In a Wireless Printer Network, idle Slave PC Adapters will blink periodically
∙When installing additional Slave PC Adapters, the LED lights will turn green for a few seconds and then will turn off after a brief timeout period.
∙Printing is performed through a polling process in which the Master Printer Adapter surveys all paired Slave PC Adapters for print requests. The polling sequence begins with the first paired Slave PC Adapter (supplied in the Wireless Printer Kit). The rest of the print requests will be processed in the order the Slave PC Adapter was paired with the Master Printer Adapter.
∙Only one adapter can be actively printing at a time. After the current print queue is completed, the Slave PC Adapter’s connection will be released after a timeout period. Then other active Slave PC Adapters will be polled in sequence to see if print requests are pending.
∙If the Slave PC Adapter is not connected to the Master Printer Adapter, the printer status may appear to be either Offline or Not Responding, depending on your operating system and printer software. At this time, when a print job is submitted, it will be entered in the offline printer queue and processed when the printer comes online. However, depending on the operating system and the printer software, an error message may appear (see example below) and either 1) disappear when the printer comes online and process the job or 2) require the print job to be resubmitted.
