Precautions When Using Wireless LAN

Precautions When Using Wireless LAN
Carefully read the following precautions before using the machine in a wireless LAN environment.
• In a wireless LAN environment, the machine enters sleep mode, but does not enter deep sleep mode.
• Do not place any devices (especially microwave ovens or digital cordless telephones) that emit weak electromagnetic waves near the machine.
• Install the machine near a wireless LAN access point or wireless device with no obstacles between them (the distance should be within 30 m).
• Wireless connections may be difcult if there is any metal, aluminum framed windows, or reinforced concrete walls between the machine and the wireless LAN access point.
• Wireless LAN connections may have slower transmission speeds, depending on the environment, than wired LAN or USB connections. We recommend using a wired LAN or a USB connection to print large amounts of data, such as photographs.
• The illustrations of the machine and the control panel in this manual use the MC363dnw as an example. For how to use the actual control panel, see the user manual for the machine you purchased.
Note
• The wireless LAN function may be disabled in the default factory settings. If this is the case, you need to rst set the wireless LAN to [Enable] on the control panel.
