RW 420 printers can be equipped with both a Bluetooth and an 802.11b radio, allowing communications with both Bluetooth enabled devices and a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) (see discussion below).

Wireless Local Area Network Overview

RW series printers can be equipped with several radio op- tions which use the industry standard 802.11 WLAN protocol.

RW series printers with a Compact Flash (CF) ra- dio module can be identified by the FCC ID number “I28MD-RW4137” and other regulatory information on the serial number label on the back of the unit.

RW series printers with a Zebra Value Radio, 802.11b can be identified by the FCC ID number “I28MD-ZLAN11B” and other regulatory information on the serial number la- bel on the back of the unit.

RW series Wireless Network Printers with the Zebra 802.11b/g WLAN radio module can be iden- tified by the text “Wireless Network Printer” and

FCC ID: I28MD-ZLAN11G on the serial number label on the back of the printer. The 802.11b/g performance radio op- tion can be identified by FCC ID: 128MD-CXLAN11G.

RW 420 printers with both an 802.11b WLAN radio and a Bluetooth radio running in the same unit are consid- ered to be dual radio devices. At present this dual radio configuration is offered only on the RW 420. Dual radio equipped RW 420 units will have a Bluetooth radio FCC ID “I28MD-BTC2TY3” and 802.11b Compact flash radio FCC ID “I28MD-RW4137”. The FCC ID numbers and other reg- ulatory information for both radios are located on the se-

rial number label on the back of the RW 420.

Printers so equipped allow wireless communication as a node within a WLAN and its wireless capabilities allow com- munications from any point within the WLAN’s perimeter. Printers equipped with the dual Bluetooth/802.11b WLAN radio configuration can be linked to both a WLAN and a Bluetooth network simultaneously.

Methods of establishing communications to RW series print- ers will vary with each LAN application. General informa- tion on establishing WLAN communications can be found in
