Wireless Network Connection
To install the printer using a wireless network connection, you must have:
• Equipment, including cables, for the wireless connection method you have chosen.
• Knowledge of wireless communication.
Connection Types
For wireless printing, the card printer is connected to a bidirectional wireless print server using a
USB cable. The wireless print server receives data from another wireless device. The sending
device can be part of a network or attached to a PC.
Existing Network
A networked connection
includes the typical
components of an
organization's existing
network, including servers,
cables, routers, and PCs. The
network must be enabled for
wireless communication
through one or more access
points.
PCs on the network must
install the driver for the card
printer to send cards to the
printer. PCs send data over the network, which transmits the data through an access point to
the wireless print server and printer. The printer returns status information to the PC using the
same path.
The printer location is limited by the range and availability of access points. This method can
also be called infrastructure mode. See "Wireless Network Installation Using an Existing
Network" for the steps to follow.
Peer to Peer
A peer to peer network is
made up of PCs equipped
with wireless adapters and
the printer with wireless print
server. The PCs have the
driver for the card printer
installed, and transmit print
data from the PCs wireless
adapter to the wireless print
server. The printer returns
status information to the PC
using the same path.
