When you first consider installing EasyLAN Wireless printers in your data
collection network, you should arrange for a site survey. An Intermec
representative analyzes the range of radio frequency devices in your facility
and determines the placement of the access points and printers with
EasyLAN Wireless. The site survey ensures that the coverage overlaps to
provide uninterrupted wireless communication at any location within your
building. This manual assumes that a site survey is complete and the
wireless network is installed in your facility.
This manual also assumes that you have loaded media and ribbon into the
printer and connected the printer to power. For help, see the printer quick
start guide.
If you are simply using the printer with EasyLAN Wireless in an ad-hoc
network, make sure that your PCs with 802.11b radios are configured.
For best performance, position the printer and antenna so that the antenna
has a line-of-sight exposure to the access point or the wireless device that it
communicates with.
To attach the antenna
• Screw the antenna onto the antenna connector, and then move the
antenna so that it points up.
