How do network solutions offered with HP Deskjet 5800 and PSC 2500 series
benefit customers?
offers customers a range of benefits—some of which are common to
Benefits common to both wired and wireless networking:
• Convenience—up to five network users can access printing and all-in-one functions without
sac
• Simple installa
networking ski
• Support for mixed operating system environments—customers can have both PC and Macintosh
• Saves space—no need for each user to make space on their desktop for a printer or all-in-one
Benefits unique to wireless (Wi-Fi) networks:
• Flexible—customers can locate the printer o
place the device next to the network router or access point
• Reduces cable clutter—helps keep home-office and small-office environments tidy and
organized with fewer wires and cables
• Easy to move—simplifies moving from one location to another with fewer wires to relocate
• Versatile—for wired users considering wireless in the future, the built-in wireless feature is
always ready when needed
Benefits unique to wired (Ethernet) networks:
• Eliminates signal interference—wireless signals from cordless phones, microwave ovens or
other devices won’t affect network performance
• Optimal throughput—takes full advantage of 802.11g network capabilities when the printe
all-in-one is the only 802.11b device on the network

• Secure—provides the highest level of network security; no eavesdropping on wirele
du ces will be below standard 802.11g speeds
t g e reduction in throughput, a feature of the 802.11g specification,
ensu any home- and small-office networks, this

busiest networks.

In a mixed 802.11g and 802.11b environment, any 802.11b device such as a printer or computer will
re ce network throughput. In this case, speeds for 802.11g devi
bu reater than 802.11b speeds. Th

All devices on the network, including computers, must have a wired connection to achieve this level of
security.
