2.
Danger:
Never attempt to disassemble or repair an power supply, as exposure to electric shock
hazards may result. Always contact the dealer of SATO Corporation products if repair
or replacement is required.
Warning:
Always use the power supply provided with LAN board to avoid any risk of fire or other
damage to the computer. Using an unauthorized and incompatible power supply, in
violation of this warning, could result in bodily injury or property damage.
Caution:
Never bend or twist the power cord, and never pull on the power cord in an attempt to
remove the plug from the socket. Never place heavy objects on the power cord, as this
could result in damage to the cord. Always grasp the plug directly when unplugging the

SATO Users Manual
PROPER TREATMENT OF THE DEVICE
4.
Warning:
To avoid any risk of short-circuit, fire or other internal damage, never allow any metal
objects such as screws or paper clips to fall into the device. If that should happen,
immediately turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Contact the dealer of SATO
Corporation products for appropriate assistance. To avoid damage to LAN board, never
allow any liquids to spill into any part of LAN board, and never expose LAN board
to rain or water. If any of these events should occur, turn off LAN board immediately.
Contact the dealer of SATO Corporation products for assistance before attempting to
use LAN board again. To prevent computer malfunction or equipment damage, never
place LAN board on top of (or adjacent to) a heating device, and never expose it in
direct sunlight. Never store LAN board in a locked and unventilated vehicle, (where
excessive internal temperatures may be encountered). Always unplug the power cord
during lightning storms in order to protect the device from possible damage as a result of a
power surge. If LAN board is ever dropped and damaged, or if you ever detect the
emission of an extraordinary odor or excessive heat, unplug the power cord and turn off
the printer and LAN board immediately. Contact the dealer of SATO Corporation products
for appropriate assistance.
Notice:
If LAN board has been exposed to cold temperature, allow it to warm to room temperature
before turning on. This will prevent the occurrence of harmful condensation within the device
(this is a particularly important concern when the device is being used in cold climates).
Avoid using LAN board in dusty areas since dust particles can affect the reliability of LAN
board. Contact the dealer of SATO Corporation products if your device has become
contaminated with dust or dirt particles.
Thank you for purchasing our product this time. This manual provides complete information
on how to configure and use LAN board.

1. About LAN board
This chapter explains LAN board operating environment, outline and how to connect LAN
board to the network.
Features
- “Quick Setup” is included in the accessory kit for easy configuration.
- Management utility “AdminManager” is included in the accessory kit.
- Printing software “ST-Print2003” is included in the accessory kit.
- Embedded HTTP enables you to configure LAN board via Web browser.
- Embedded e-mail sending function.
- Supports multi-protocol.
- Enhanced Windows XP compatibility
NetBIOS over TCP/IP is embedded. This allows NetBIOS printing environment to be
configured on the PC running on Windows XP installed as the standard OS, without
additional protocol installation.
- Supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) environment
In an environment where WINS server exists, register an IP address solution
information on NetBIOS name to WINS server.
- Embedded DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System)
Sends LAN board IP address to DNS server having DDNS function. When LAN board is
dynamically given an IP address from DHCP server, it is immediately reflected upon
Domain Name System, avoiding inconsistency from occurring between the domain
name and the IP address.
The LAN board uses a wired LAN interface if the wired LAN connection is detected when the
NOTE
printer is turned on.
If a wired LAN connection is not detected within 15 seconds, the LAN board uses a wireless
interface.
1-1About LAN board
TIP
SATO Users Manual
<Restrictions on Wireless Mode>
- WPA2 is not supported.
- Atheros SuperG - XR is not supported.
- When running in AdHoc mode, the LAN board operates at the same communication speed as
802.11b.
- When using AES, the network connection between Broadcom's access point and the LAN board
may become unstable.
- DSA certificate for EAP-TLS authentication is not supported.
- When using CKIP and CMIC, the communication speed may slow down because CKIP and
CMIC are processed on the software side.
- LEAP authentication cannot be used with TKIP and AES encryption. Therefore, LEAP cannot be
chosen for WPA authentication mode.
- When using CKIP, the LAN board will always try to connect to an access point even if the wrong
cipher is used. (When using WPA, the LAN board will not connect to an access point if the
wrong cipher is used.)
