11 Networks

Using the USB cable, you can connect your device to a PC that is connected to a network. Other PCs on this network can then access the device if it is shared for use on the network. You cannot connect the device directly to a network with a USB cable, unless you have a USB print server connection.

Your device has a WLAN connection. Thus, you can integrate the device into an existing wireless network (WLAN). All computers in the network can then access the device and scan or print.

Notice

Calling the Web Interface

You can also edit the device's network settings with the device's web interface (see also the chapter Web Interface, page 19).

Wireless Network (WLAN)

In a wireless network (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN) at least two computers, printers or other additional devices communicate with each other over radio waves (high frequency waves). The transmission of data in the radio network is based on the standards 802.11b and 802.11g.

DANGER!

Information on Using WLAN!

The functioning of security systems, medical equipment or sensitive devices can be disrupted by the transmission power of the device. Observe any usage regulations (or restrictions) in the vicinity of such equipment.

The use of this device can affect the operation of insufficiently shielded medical devices and hearing aids and pacemakers through the release of high frequency radiation. Also consult a doctor or the manufacturer of the medical device to establish whether these are sufficiently shielded from external high frequency radiation.

Infrastructure Wireless Network

In an infrastructure network, multiple devices commu-

nicate via a central access point (gateway, router). All EN data are sent to the access point (gateway, router) and distributed from there.

Setting Up a Wireless

Network (WLAN)

Notice

Information on Configuration

We recommend that the settings of your WLAN network should only be changed by a person with a good knowledge of the configuration of your computer.

Three steps are required to integrate your device into a wireless network (WLAN).

1Configure the network on your PC.

2Configure your device for network operation.

3Install the software Companion Center SFX on your computer using the required printer drivers.

You must carry out certain network and security settings (for example the Service Set ID (SSID) and the password). The settings must match the information for the network. The device guides you through setting up the network using a configuration wizard.
