JPEG Library

Independent JPEG Group's free JPEG software

-------------------------------------------

This package contains C software to implement JPEG image encoding, decoding, and transcoding. JPEG is a standardized compression method for full-color and gray-scale images.

The distributed programs provide conversion between JPEG "JFIF" format and image files in PBMPLUS PPM/PGM, GIF, BMP, and Targa file formats. The core compression and decompression library can easily be reused in other programs, such as image viewers. The package is highly portable C code; we have tested it on many machines ranging from PCs to Crays.

We are releasing this software for both noncommercial and commercial use. Companies are welcome to use it as the basis for JPEG-related products. We do not ask a royalty, although we do ask for an acknowledgement in product literature (see the README file in the distribution for details). We hope to make this software industrial-quality --- although, as with anything that's free, we offer no warranty and accept no liability.

For more information, contact jpeg-info@jpegclub.org.

Configuring the Optional Wireless Adapter

This section describes how to configure a wireless adapter.

You can select a method to configure a wireless adapter from the following:

• Wizard Setup through Dell Printer Easy Install

•WPS-PBC

•WPS-PIN

•Auto SSID Setup

• Manual SSID Setup

• Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool

*1 WPS-PBC (Wi-Fi Protected Setup-Push Button Configuration) is a method to authenticate and register devices required for wireless

configuration, by pressing the button provided on the access point via wireless routers, and then performing WPS-PBC setting on the operator panel. This setting is available only when the access point supports WPS.

*2 WPS-PIN (Wi-Fi Protected Setup-Personal Identification Number) is a method to authenticate and register devices required for wireless

configuration, by entering PIN assignments in the printer and computer. This setting, performed through access point, is available only when the access points of your wireless router supports WPS.

*3 WPS 2.0 compliant. WPS 2.0 works on access points with the following encryption types: Mixed mode PSK, WPA-PSK AES,

WPA2-PSK AES, WPA-PSK TKIP, Open (No Security)

Checking the Shared Printer

To confirm that the printer is properly shared:

• Ensure that the printer object in the shared icon is shown under the printer icon.

• From a network client, browse name you assigned to the printer.

After you have checked that the printer is shared, use methods such as Windows Point and Print to use the shared printer from a network client.

NOTE:

If the OS bit editions (32/64 bit edition) differ between a print server and a client computer, you need to manually add the printer driver for the client computer edition on the server. Otherwise, the printer driver cannot be installed on the client computer using methods such as Point and Print. For example, if the print server runs on Windows Vista® 32-bit edition, while the client computer runs on Windows 64-bit client on the 32-bit server.
