Regulatory Compliance and Safety

Bluetooth, Health and Authorization for use

Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Bluetooth devices. The energy levels of
these emissions however are far less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless
devices such as mobile phones. Bluetooth devices are safe for use frequency safety standards
and recommendations. The use of Bluetooth devices may be restricted in some situations or
environments for example:

• On board of airplanes, or

• ·In an explosive environment, or

• ·In case the interference risk to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful

In case the policy regarding the use of Bluetooth devices in specific organizations or
environments (e.g. airports, hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, private buildings etc.) is
not clear, please ask for authorization to use these devices prior to operating the equipment.

The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country
dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The
firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.

Cumplimiento normativo y seguridad

Funcionamiento y autorización para uso de BLUETOOTH inalámbrica

Los dispositivos BLUETOOTH inalámbricos emiten energía de radiofrecuencia
electromagnética. Sin embargo, los niveles de energía de estas emisiones son mucho menores
a las emisiones de energía electromagnética de los dispositivos inalámbricos como los
teléfonos. Los dispositivos BLUETOOTH inalámbricos son seguros para usar estándares y
recomendaciones de seguridad de frecuencia. El uso de dispositivos BLUETOOTH inalámbricos
puede ser restringido en algunas situaciones o entornos, por ejemplo:

En caso de que la política en cuanto al uso de dispositivos BLUETOOTH inalámbricos en
organizaciones o entornos específicos (como aeropuertos, hospitales, plantas industriales
químicas, petroleras o de gas, edificios privados, etc.) no esté clara, solicite autorización para el
uso de los dispositivos antes de utilizar el equipamiento.

La disponibilidad de algunos canales específicos y/o bandas de frecuencia operativa depende del
país, y el firmware se programa en la fábrica para que coincida con el destino meta. El usuario
final no puede acceder a la configuración de firmware.

Evropská směrnice 2002/96/ES zakazuje, aby zařízení označené tímto symbolem na produktu
anebo na obalu bylo likvidováno s netříděným komunálním odpadem. Tento symbol udává, že
daný produkt musí být likvidován odděleně od běžného komunálního odpadu. Odpovídáte za
likvidaci tohoto produktu a dalších elektrických a elektronických zařízení prostřednictvím
určených sběrných míst stanovených vládou nebo místními úřady. Správná likvidace a recyklace
pomáhá předcházet potenciálním negativním dopadům na životní prostředí a lidské zdraví.
Podrobnější informace o likvidaci starého vybavení si laskavě vyžádejte od místních úřadů,
podniku zabývajícího se likvidací komunálních odpadů nebo obchodu, kde jste produkt zakoupili.

Install Adhoc Connection (first time)

Use this installation process to connect your PC to the printer, wirelessly, without
a router. This is known as a peer-to-peer connection. The wireless connection
allows you to send print jobs to the printer from outside of the office.

Setting up adhoc printing involves the following:

• Installing a USB driver.

• Establishing an adhoc connection.

• Installing a network driver.

Install USB Driver

1. Go to “Install USB Driver (only)” on page 2-36 and follow Steps 1 through 10.

Establish Adhoc Connection

An ad hoc network is a temporary connection between computers and devices
used for a specific purpose, such as printing documents from a Brady printer. Ad
hoc networks can only be wireless.

1. Open the Brady Network Card Configuration Utility by choosing:

Start>Programs>Brady>Brady Network Card>Brady Network Card
Configuration Utility.
