USB Port

Using the USB cable, you can connect your device to a
PC that is connected to a network. Other PCs on this
network can then access the device if it is shared for use
on the network. You cannot connect the device directly
to a network with a USB cable, unless you have a USB
print server connection.

Networks

A WLAN adapter enables you to connect the device to
an existing network as a network printer. All computers
in the network can then access the device and scan or
print.

waves (high frequency waves). The transmission of data
in the radio network is based on the standards 802.11b
and 802.11g.

rupted by the transmission power of the
device. Observe any usage regulations (or
restrictions) in the vicinity of such equipment.

The use of this device can affect the operation
of insufficiently shielded medical devices and
hearing aids and pacemakers through the
release of high frequency radiation. Also con-
sult a doctor or the manufacturer of the med-
ical device to establish whether these are suf-
ficiently shielded from external high frequency
radiation.
