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
1Reserved for test use only (setup prohibited).
2LAN board EEPROM initialization (initialize configura-
tion).
3Print configuration details on a label (diagnostic & config-
uration).
4Print 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.
