WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN) INTERFACE MODE (TABLE 4-9)

MENU		DESCRIPTION
	Communication Protocol. Selects the mode of Bi-Directional communications. In most cases this
	menu does not need to be altered and is meant to help support legacy applications which may
	have incorporated older bi-directional statuses. Anything other than Staus 5 or Standard (none) is
	not recommended.
	•	Status 5 - factory default. Most advanced of the options. This status is the most recent and
		represented in the interface specifications. For more information, refer to the appropriate
Comm. Protocol
Status 5*		section in the programming and interface guide.
	• Standard - bi-directional interface is not used.
	•	Status 2 - legacy bi-directional support. Not recommended for new applications.
	•	Status 3 - legacy bi-directional support. Not recommended for new applications.
	•	Status 4 - legacy bi-directional support. Not recommended for new applications.
	There are only two options relative to the serial interface, ignore all others.
	•	Auto Switching - the printer automatically switches to the relative interface type and moves
Host Interface
		into the applicable menus.
Ethernet*

	This menu appears only if a 10/100Base-t Network Interface Card (NIC) is installed. There are
	five different speed modes to allow compatibility with different systmes and networks.
	•	Auto Select - factory default. Tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to perform an automatic detection
		scheme and configure itself to be one of the other allowable options.
Ethernet Speed
	•	10 Half Duplex - communicates at 10 megabytes per second using half duplex.
Auto Select*
	•	10 Full Duplex - communicates at 10 megabytes per second using full duplex.
	•	100 Half Duplex - communicates at 100 megabytes per second using half duplex.
