Instructions on Using the Network Interface

Notes on powering on and off

• Do not turn off the device and the network interface when changing the settings. This may damage the device and the network interface.

• Do not turn off the device and the network interface while printing is in progress. This may cause operational trouble to the computer sending the print data and suspend the printing process.

• Do not turn off the network interface during a firmware update. Otherwise, the update cannot be completed correctly and the network interface may not turn on (may not work) after the update.

Notes on USB connection

• Only supported devices can connect to a USB downstream connector of the network interface. Do not use a USB hub.

• Only IBM compatible computer or Macintosh equipped with USB can connect to a USB upstream connector of the network interface.

Notes on security

• WEP Key
  Set a WEP Key or WPA-PSK to prevent wireless interception by unauthorized persons. The wireless transmission speed is reduced when WEP or WPA-PSK is enabled because time is required for encryption and decryption.

• Security lock
  Insert a commercially available theft-prevention cable through the security lock, which is located on the back panel of the network interface, to secure the device to a table or pillar. This network interface is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington.

Notes on radio waves

• Radio wave interference may occur when there are devices that use radio waves within the 2.4 GHz ISM band near the network interface. Therefore, separate the network interface from these devices as much as possible to prevent radio wave interference.

• When using the network interface in the Ad Hoc mode, radio wave interference may occur if the channel of the network interface and the other devices are close to each other. Therefore, separate a few channels from the channel used near the network interface.

• Shorten the distance of the network interface and devices that communicate with the network interface.

Where to locate the network interface

• The location of the network interface must be considered to improve the wireless communication. The rotary stand can provide a good position. The condition of radio wave can be checked using EpsonNet Config, lights of the network interface, and the status sheet.
