Overview
You can use the print server in Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (access point) wireless
mode. The print server operates at speeds of up to 11 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11b and 54 Mbps
on any IEEE 802.11g wireless compatible networks.
The 9493 wireless print server includes a dual built-in wired Ethernet (802.3) connection so the
print server automatically switches between wireless and wired Ethernet mode within the same
subnet address. When switching between wired and wireless mode on different subnets, turn off
the printer and then turn it back on to reinitialize the radio.
Follow the instructions in this manual to configure the wireless print server for your printer. For
more information and software downloads, see Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting.”
