Printing using the IEEE 802.11b Interface

This section describes how to print after installing the optional 802.11b Interface Kit.

There are two methods of using this machine as a network printer with IEEE

802.11b.

Note

❒ IEEE 802.11b (wireless LAN) is unavailable in some countries, or its use may

be limited.

❖❖❖❖ ad hoc mode (802.11 ad hoc mode/ad hoc mode)

This is the mode for transmitting between each wireless LAN client. You must make the channels the same for each wireless LAN client to transmit using this basic transmitting method which does not require an access point. When using “802.11b ad hoc mode”, the SSID must be set. The ad hoc mode settings can be made from telnet or a Web Browser. See p.100 “Using in Ad hoc Mode”.

Page 15

❖❖❖❖ infrastructure mode

This is the mode for transmitting via an access point. The SSID same as the access point. When setting WEP

, you must set the same values

must be the

as an access point. By connecting the access point to Ethernet, you can transmit the current network environment. See p.100 “Using in Infrastructure Mode”.

This is called a Service Set ID and is used in the connection between the wireless LAN client and the access point. Only a wireless LAN client and an access point that have the same SSID can transmit to each other. (The character strings to be set are in the range ASCII 0x20-0x7e and the SSID is case-sensitive to 32 bytes.)

This is used to protect coded wireless data transmission. When both the wireless LAN client and the transmission access point are coded using a 64-bit key, you must set the same WEP key as the printer. (You can set only 10 hexadecimal characters when using 64-bit or 26 hexadecimal characters when using 128-bit.)

Monitoring and Configuring the Printer

Changing Names and Comments

You can change printer names and make a comment on printers to easily identify the printers listed on SmartNetMonitor for Client.

The following utilities are used to change printer names and comments.

❖❖❖❖ SmartNetMonitor for Admin

Allows you to change names and comments when the TCP/IP protocol or IPX/SPX protocol is available. You can install SmartNetMonitor for Admin from the CD-ROM that comes with the printer. For more information about installing SmartNetMonitor for Admin, see p.60 “Installing SmartNetMonitor for Admin”.

❖❖❖❖ Web Browser

Allows you to change names and comments when the TCP/IP protocol is available.

Note

❒ Each of the names, in a TCP/IP protocol form (printer name) and in a Net-

BEUI protocol form, is changed individually. Comments are, however, common to both of them.

❒ The factory default name consists of “RNP” and the last 3 bytes of the

MAC address on the Network Interface Board. For example, when the MAC address is 00:00:74:62:7D:D5, the factory default name is “RNP627DD5”. Comments are not configured.

SmartNetMonitor for Admin

TCP/IP

A Click the [General] tab, and then type the device name into the [Device

Name] box and comment into the [Comment] box.

• In the [Device Name] box, type the name of the printer in under 13 char-

acters. The factory default name consists of “RNP” and the last 3 bytes of the MAC address on the Network Interface Board. For example, when the MAC address is 00:00:74:62:7D:D5, the factory default name is

“RNP627DD5”. No name of 9 characters is permitted if the prefix is “RNP”. Also, when DHCP is selected as an IP address setting, the

number of characters is limited to 13 characters.

• In the [Comment] box, type any comment on printers in under 31 charac-

ters.

NetBEUI

A Click the [General] tab, and then type the comment into the [Comment]

box.

In the [Comment] box, type any comment on printers in under 31 characters.

B Click the [NetBEUI] tab. C Type the computer name into the [Computer Name] box.

• In the [Computer Name] box, type the name that helps you to identify

printers using the NetBEUI protocol. The factory default name consists of “RNP” and the last 3 bytes of the MAC address on the Network Interface Board. For example, when the MAC address is 00:00:74:62:7D:D5, the factory default name is “RNP627DD5”. A maximum of 13 characters consisting of uppercase English letters, numeric, or symbols (except "*+,/:;<=>?[\]|. and space) can be used. No name is permitted if the prefix is “RNP”. You must avoid the duplication of the same name on a network.

When the configuration message appears, click [OK].
