5.7 WIRELESS LAN INTERFACE (802.11 B/G)

The wireless print server provides easy printer interface with 802.11G Wi-Fi compliant networks free of wired connections. Each printer is shipped with an integrated driver and interface installed. The driver must be loaded onto the host computer and configured to run one of the supported protocols.

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

The DIP switches serve to initialize the configuration saved on the Wireless-LAN board, print the configuration, and make a self-diagnosis. To communicate with the host,set the communi- cation mode by through switches 5 and 6, then set the remaining switches to the OFF position.

Print of configuration and self-diagnosis are operable only on the screen after turning on the printer. Ensure all switches are in the OFF position when operating the printer.

SWITCH

SETTING

 

 

1

Reserved for test use only (setup prohibited).

 

 

2

LAN board EEPROM initialization (initialize configura-

tion).

 

3

Print configuration details on a label (diagnostic & config-

uration).

 

4

Print a self-diagmosis of the board onto a label (wireless

mode).

 

NOTE: The communication mode may be set within the printer’s Interface Mode. Go to [Com- munication] of the Interface Mode to enable setup by either the DIP switches or through the Interface Mode.
