1. Remove the slot cover [A] from the board slot image x 2).

2. Install the wireless LAN board (Knob-screw x 2) into the board slot.

3. Make sure that the machine can recognize the option. image p.30 "Check All Connections")

4. Peel off the double-sided tapes on the Velcro fasteners [A], and then attach them [B] at the front left and rear right of the machine.

5. Attach the "ANT1" (having a black ferrite core) to the front left of the machine.

6. Attach the "ANT2" (having a white ferrite core) to the rear right of the machine.

"ANT1" is a transmission/reception antenna and "ANT2" is a reception antenna. Do not attach them at the wrong places.

7. Attach the clamps as shown above.

8. Wire the cables and clamp them image x 8).

Make sure that the cables are not slack. Keep them wired tightly along the covers. You may have to move the machine if the reception is not clear.

Make sure that the machine is not located near an appliance or any type of equipment that generates strong magnetic fields.

Put the machine as close as possible to the access point.


User Tool Settings for IEEE 802.11a/g

Go into the User Tools mode and do the procedure below. These settings take effect every time the machine is powered on.

You cannot use IEEE 802.11a/g if you use Ethernet.

1. Press the “User Tools” key.

2. On the touch panel, touch “System Settings”.

Select “Interface Settings”> “Network” > “LAN Type”. The “LAN Type” (default: Ethernet) must be set for either Ethernet or wireless LAN.

3. Select “Interface Settings”> “Wireless LAN”. Only the wireless LAN options show.

4. Set the “Communication Mode“.

5. Enter the “SSID setting”. (The setting is case sensitive.)

6. Set the “Ad-hoc Channel”. You need this setting when Ad Hoc Mode is selected. The allowed range for the channel settings may vary for different countries.

Region A (mainly Europe and Asia)

Range: 1-13, 36, 40, 44 and 48 channels (default: 11)

In some countries, only the following channels are available:

Range: 1-11 channels (default: 11)

Region B (mainly North America)

Range: 1-11, 36, 40, 44 and 48 channels (default: 11)

7. Set the “Security Method” to specify the encryption of the Wireless LAN.

The “WEP” (Wired Equivalent Privacy) setting is designed to protect wireless data transmission. The same WEP key is required on the receiving side in order to unlock encoded data. There are 64 bit and 128 bit WEP keys.

Range of Allowed Settings: 64 bit: 10 characters

128 bit: 26 characters

Specify “WPA” when “Communication Mode” is set to “Infrastructure Mode”. Set the “WPA Encryption Method” and “WPA Authent. Method”.

WPA Encryption Method:

Printer Scanner Unit Type 5002 (D641)

Printer Scanner Unit Type 5002 (D641)

Select either "TKIP" or "CCMP (AES)".

WPA Authent. Method:

Select either “WPA-PSK”, “WPA”, “WPA2-PSK", or “WPA2”.

If you select “WPA-PSK” or “WPA2-PSK”, enter the pre-shared key (PSK) of 8 - 63 characters in ASCII code.

When “WPA” or “WPA2” are selected, authentication settings and certificate installation settings are required.

8. Press “Wireless LAN Signal” to check the machine's radio wave status using the operation panel.

9. Press “Restore Factory Defaults” to initialize the wireless LAN settings. Press “Yes” to initialize the following settings:
