Wireless Networking

The EpsonNet 802.11b Wireless Print Server is designed for use in a small office, home, or school network. On a wired network like the one illustrated below, the computers and other equipment share information and Internet access through a series of cables.

Wired Network

With a wireless network, you share information between computers and printers using radio waves, similar to the technology used in cordless phones. You can place your printer in a convenient location and use it without having to connect it to your computer or network.

You can add the EpsonNet 802.11b Wireless Print Server to your network either with or without a wireless access point (or AirPort™ Base Station).

If you have an access point/base station, both wired and wireless-equipped computers can use the printer. An access point might also allow computers to share other resources, such as Internet access.
