Note
❒Consult your network administrator before connecting the machine to a net-
work.
❒Make sure to use a properly shielded and grounded cable (UTP, STP, Catego-
ry/Type5) for the connection to the host computer (and/or HUB) in order to
meet FCC and EMC Directive 89/336/EEC emission guidelines.
When the Wireless LAN Board (option) is installed
When using the Wireless LAN Interface on the network, keep the foll owing
points in mind:
❖
❖❖
❖Attach both antennas as a unit.

❖❖
❖When moving the machine
Detach the antennas when relocating the machine locally.
After moving the machine, reattach the antennas, ensuring that:
•The antennas are positioned clear of obstacles.
•There is 40 to 60 mm between the antennas, so that they do not touch.
•The exposure glass cover and Document Feeder (ADF) do not knock the
antennas.

❖❖
❖If the network area provides poor radio environment
Where radio wave conditions are bad, the network may not function due to
interrupted or failed connections. When che cking the Wireless LAN Signal
and the access point, follow these steps to improve the situation:
•Position the access point nearer to the machine.
•Clear the space between access point and machine of obstructions.
•Move radio wave generating appliances, such as microwaves, away from
the machine and access point.
