Product Features
Technical Overview
This wireless print server provides a focused technical solution for network printing. It leverages Wi-Fi technology to establish a wireless connection between the printer and the network, eliminating the need for a direct Ethernet cable or a dedicated print server computer. The IEEE 802.11b/g support ensures backward compatibility with older wireless networks while maintaining adequate speed for label and receipt printing workloads.
The 54 Mbit/s transmission speed is sufficient for typical print job data transfer in point-of-sale and labeling applications. Operating in the 2.40 GHz ISM band offers reliable performance in most indoor environments. The plug-in module design integrates directly with the printer, providing a clean, all-in-one solution without external adapters or power supplies.
