The Paxar Monarch 7410 Print Server lets you communicate with Paxar Monarch printers on an 802.11b wireless network. You can use the print server in ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (access point) wireless mode. The print server operates at speeds of up to 11 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11b wireless compatible network.

The Paxar Monarch 985x printers can be used on the Paxar Monarch 9876 Mobile Printing Station for portable wireless communication.

In addition, the wireless print server includes a unique dual-mode built-in wired Ethernet connection. What does this mean? No more production slowdowns in poor coverage areas; when the RF net is down; or when RF traffic is heavy. Simply move the printer and/or mobile printing station to the nearest Ethernet jack, plug it in, and the print server automatically switches to wired Ethernet mode! Unplug the Ethernet cable and it automatically switches back to RF!

Follow the instructions in this manual to configure the wireless print server for your printer. For more information and software downloads, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting.”

To use the print server for printing from a wireless network, you need an 802.11b wireless network. The wireless network consists of either of the following:

♦An 802.11b wireless enabled PC printing straight to the printer (Ad-Hoc or Peer-to-Peer Mode).

♦An 802.11b wireless Access point allowing wireless and wired Ethernet enabled computers to print to the print server (Infrastructure Mode).
