INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Important considerations must be followed for the successful installation of additional
Slave PC Adapters to an existing Wireless Printer Network installation:
• The installation of a new Slave PC Adapter can only be made with one Master Printer
Adapter at a time.
• Successful searching and pairing cannot be accomplished if a Master Printer Adapter, other
than the one being used during the installation procedures above, is unplugged from its
printer’s USB port and left powered-on.
PRINTING CONSIDERATIONS
• In a Wireless Printer Network, idle Slave PC Adapters will blink periodically
• When installing additional Slave PC Adapters, the LED lights will turn green for a few
seconds and then will turn off after a brief timeout period.
• Printing is performed through a polling process in which the Master Printer Adapter surveys
all paired Slave PC Adapters for print requests. The polling sequence begins with the first
paired Slave PC Adapter (supplied in the Wireless Printer Kit). The rest of the print requests
will be processed in the order the Slave PC Adapter was paired with the Master Printer
Adapter.
• Only one adapter can be actively printing at a time. After the current print queue is
completed, the Slave PC Adapter’s connection will be released after a timeout period. Then
other active Slave PC Adapters will be polled in sequence to see if print requests are pending.
• If the Slave PC Adapter is not connected to the Master Printer Adapter, the printer status may
appear to be either Offline or Not Responding, depending on your operating system and
printer software. At this time, when a print job is submitted, it will be entered in the offline
printer queue and processed when the printer comes online. However, depending on the
operating system and the printer software, an error message may appear (see example below)
and either 1) disappear when the printer comes online and process the job or 2) require the
print job to be resubmitted.
