Connecting This Machine To A Computer; Connecting With A Lan Cable - Oki C542 User Manual

Connecting This Machine to a Computer

Connect the machine to the computer using any of the following four methods.

• Connecting with a LAN Cable

• Connecting over a Wireless LAN Connection (Only When the Wireless LAN Module is
Mounted)
• Connecting with a USB Cable
• Connecting Directly over a Wireless LAN Connection (Only When the Wireless LAN
Module is Mounted)
• Install this machine in a place with a good view and near a wireless access point or wireless device. (We suggest that
the distance between the machine and the wireless device be 30 m or less.)
• "Connecting via a Wireless LAN Access Point" and "Connecting Directly over a Wireless LAN Connection" cannot be
used at the same time.
• If the machine is used in a wireless network environment, the machine does not enter Deep Sleep mode but enters
Sleep mode.
• When communicating with devices out of the segment over a wireless LAN connection, set [Enabling Default
Gateway] to [Wireless].
• Do not place any electric appliances that emit weak radio waves (such as microwaves or digital cordless telephones)
close to the machine.
• If there is metal, aluminum sash, or a reinforced concrete wall between the machine and wireless LAN access points
or wireless devices, connections may be harder to be established.
• The communication speed of a wireless LAN connection may be slower than that of a wired LAN or USB connection
depending on the environment. If you want to print big data such as a photo, it is recommended to connect using a
LAN cable or USB cable.
• Outdoor use of IEEE802.11a (W52/W53) is prohibited by the Radio Law. Use IEEE802.11a (W52/W53) only indoors.
