HP 625n Gigabit Ethernet Print Server manual Improving Reception and Performance, Symptoms

Improving Reception and Performance

Wireless LAN radio signals can penetrate many indoor structures and can reflect around obstacles. However, wireless communication range and performance depends on a variety of factors, including the number of users, the quality and physical placement of the wireless hardware, and the sources of radio signal interference (for example, microwave ovens and cordless telephones use similar frequencies that may interfere with wireless LAN signals). In general, the HP Jetdirect wireless print server’s data transfer rates will decrease with increasing distance, obstructions and interference.

Symptoms

●The signal strength (see the HP Jetdirect configuration page or embedded Web server) is poor or marginal.

●Print jobs are excessively slow.

Corrective Actions

●Re-orient the printer or HP Jetdirect wireless print server. In general, having the print server pointed toward the Access Point or wireless PC will improve reception and performance.
