802.11B WIRELESS INTERFACE
802.11 refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN technology to
communicate between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless clients. This
interface only uses DSSS which allows wireless functionality comparable to Ethernet.
The wireless print server provides easy printer interface with 802.11b Wi-Fi compliant networks
free of wired connections. Each printer is shipped with a Windows driver and interface installed.
To print from a PC, the driver must be loaded and the PC must be configured to run one of the
supported protocols.
Default Parameters: DSW1, 3, 4 OFF / DSW2 ON.
