Connecting To A Wireless Lan; Connecting To An Access Point (Infrastructure) - Oki C824 User Manual

Connecting to a Wireless LAN

This section describes how to connect the printer and a computer using wireless LAN. For
C824 and ES8434, the optional wireless LAN module is required to use wireless connection.
Installing the Wireless LAN module (C824, ES8434 Only)
• Wireless(Infrastructure) and Wireless(AP Mode) cannot be enabled at the same time.
• Do not place any electric products that emit weak radio waves (such as microwaves or digital cordless telephones)
close to the machine.
• 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 print with a wired
LAN or USB connection.
• This printer can use a wired LAN and wireless LAN simultaneously. If the wired LAN and wireless LAN are connected
to the same subnet, communications may become unstable.
•

Connecting to an Access Point (Infrastructure)

• Connecting to the Machine Directly (AP Mode)
Connecting to an Access Point (Infrastructure)
• Install this machine in a place with a good view of the wireless access point. (We suggest that the distance between
the machine and the wireless device be 30 m or less.)
• If there is metal, aluminum sash, or a reinforced concrete wall between the machine and wireless LAN access points,
connections may be harder to be established.
• Outdoor use of IEEE802.11a (W52/W53) is prohibited by the Radio Law. Use IEEE802.11a (W52/W53) only indoors.
• [Wireless(Infrastructure)] and [Wireless(AP Mode)] cannot be enabled at the same time.
• If you connect using 2.4 GHz, use channels 1 to 11. Channels 12 and 13 are not available. If you connect using 5
GHz, use channels 36 to 48, 52 to 64, 100 to 140, or 149 to 165.
