WI-FI SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
Wi-Fi System Specifications
Wireless interface • The wireless connection system is integrated in
the printer and uses the IEEE 802.11 b/g
protocol: data are transmitted using high
frequency radio waves.
• The wireless system includes a network adapter
and the radio wave system.
The USB connection and Wi-Fi connection can
be used at the same time.
Transmission Speed • 54 Mbps on 2.4 GHz band, if available.
Available functions • All the functions can be used by the connection
via cable and via the wireless connection (only
reading of the memory card is not available).
Web server • For simple management of the printer, use the
web browser through which it is possible to
check status, define and modify setting
parameters.
Communication mode • Peer-to peer: The integrated wireless network
connection can connect directly with a PC
equipped with wireless functions for an ad hoc
mode connection.
• The peer-to-peer method of connection is used
for small/medium web connections as the
increase of the number of network connections
reduces the quality and range of the
connection. This type of connection is set by
default.
• Infrastructure: The printer is connected with a
network of PCs via an access point connected
to a central hub or gateway that connects all
the wireless peripherals or with an Ethernet
connection.
• Installation and configuration of the printer in
Infrastructure mode requires connection with
an USB cable, which may be removed once the
parameters for network connection in wireless
mode have been set.
Security Settings • SSID (Service Set Identifier).
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key.
Via Web Server mode it is possible to install
WPA (WiFi Protected Access) keys in PSK
(Pre Shared Key) mode Home/SOHO.
note: To enter the network protection keys, the
EWS must be accessed before installing the
software via the USB connection.
