INSTALLING THE PRINT
SERVER HARDWARE
The Paxar Monarch 7410 Print Server lets you communicate with
Paxar Monarch printers on an 802.11b wireless network. 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 wireless compatible network.
The Paxar Monarch 985x printers can be used on
the Paxar Monarch 9876 Mobile Printing Station for
portable wireless communication.
In addition, the wireless print server includes a unique dual-mode built-in
wired Ethernet connection. What does this mean? No more production
slowdowns in poor coverage areas; when the RF net is down; or when RF
traffic is heavy. Simply move the printer and/or mobile printing station to the
nearest Ethernet jack, plug it in, and the print server automatically switches
to wired Ethernet mode! Unplug the Ethernet cable and it automatically
switches back to RF!
Follow the instructions in this manual to configure the wireless print server
for your printer. For more information and software downloads, see Chapter
4, “Troubleshooting.”
System Requirements
To use the print server for printing from a wireless network, you need an
802.11b wireless network. The wireless network consists of either of the
following:
An 802.11b wireless enabled PC printing straight to the printer (Ad-Hoc
or Peer-to-Peer Mode).
An 802.11b wireless Access point allowing wireless and wired Ethernet
enabled computers to print to the print server (Infrastructure Mode).
