Using Radio Cards 3-1

U S I N G R A D I O C A R D S

You can use a radio card with the appropriate device drivers to

enable a printer to run radio-frequency (RF) communications,

which allow the printers to use wireless radio networks. The

card goes in the printer’s PC-card slot.

Following are the available radio cards:

♦

Cisco 802.11B

♦

Symbol® Spectrum 24 802.11

W r i t i n g a R a d i o - E n a b l e d A p p l i c a t i o n

Write the application, integrating Datalight® Sockets® API

commands into the application code. See the Datalight Sockets

Developer’s Guide for more information.

When you link the application, include lmsdlskt.lib.

N o t e s

♦

Be sure to write power management for the radio into the

application (this is separate from printer power

management).

♦

Do not make broadcast messages or respond to them.

♦

Make sure the radio is not pinging or responding to all

access points in an area. This action drains the battery

quickly.
