Setting Up for Ad Hoc Mode
Hand-held
computer
This section explains how to set up your printer for Ad Hoc
mode. You use Ad Hoc mode to communicate with a wireless
device without using an access point.
Before setting up the printer, you need to know the following
information about your wireless network. If you are not familiar
with this information, please contact your network administrator
for assistance.
• You need to assign the IP address and network mask for your
printer.
• You need the eSSID of the ad hoc wireless network. The
eSSID is the unique identifier for your wireless network.
• You need to know whether your wireless network is using
encryption. In the following procedure, it is assumed that
encryption is disabled on your wireless network. If encryption
is enabled on your wireless network, please refer to "Setting
Up for WEP Encryption" earlier in this guide.
For more information on using and sending commands to your
printer, see the EasyCoder PL-Series Printer Programmer's
Reference Manual.
Note: The Trakker Antares terminals and 700 Series
Monochrome Mobile Computers do not support Ad Hoc mode.
To set up for Ad Hoc mode
1 Print a configuration label. For help, see "Verifying the
Printer Is Working" earlier in this guide.
