Introduction

The EtherWind 802.11b Wireless Print Server lets you communicate with printers
from anywhere on an 802.11b wireless network. You can use the print server in
ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (access point) wireless mode, as shown
below.

The print server operates at speeds of up to 11 Mbps on any IEEE 802.11b wire-
less compatible network. Your printer can be simultaneously connected to your
PC or Macintosh via the USB port.

Follow the instructions in this manual to install the print server for your printer.
