Installation on Windows
Wireless Network Connection
To install the printer using a wireless network connection, you must have:
•Equipment, including cables, for the wireless connection method you have chosen.
•Knowledge of wireless communication.
Connection Types
For wireless printing, the card printer is connected to a bidirectional wireless print server using a USB cable. The wireless print server receives data from another wireless device. The sending device can be part of a network or attached to a PC.
Existing Network
A networked connection includes the typical components of an organization's existing network, including servers, cables, routers, and PCs. The network must be enabled for wireless communication through one or more access points.
PCs on the network must install the driver for the card printer to send cards to the
printer. PCs send data over the network, which transmits the data through an access point to the wireless print server and printer. The printer returns status information to the PC using the same path.
The printer location is limited by the range and availability of access points. This method can also be called infrastructure mode. See "Wireless Network Installation Using an Existing Network" for the steps to follow.
Peer to Peer
A peer to peer network is made up of PCs equipped with wireless adapters and the printer with wireless print server. The PCs have the driver for the card printer installed, and transmit print data from the PCs wireless adapter to the wireless print server. The printer returns status information to the PC using the same path.
