Installing the Print Server Hardware 1-1 INST ALLING THE PRINT SERVER HARDWARE The Paxar  Monarch  7410  Print Server lets you communicate with Paxar  Monarch  printers on an 802.11b wireless network. You can use the print server in ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (access point) wireless mode. The print server operates at spe[...]

1-2 Installing the Print Server Hardware To configure and print, you need the following: 1. The MAC address from the label of the print server (for example: 004017023F96). 2. The following information from your wireless network administrator: ♦ Wireless Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc) ♦ The SSID (service set identifier) for your wireless networ[...]

Installing the Print Server Hardware 1-3 Checking the Print Server Hardware The print server comes preinstalled and tested in your printer. Do not plug any cables into the parallel port when using the print server. A printer with this print server cannot use the parallel port. However, the serial port is still active. 985x Plastic Cover Printer Tes[...]
