Precautions When Using Wireless LAN
Precautions When Using Wireless LAN
Carefully read the following precautions before using the machine in a wireless LAN environment.
In a wireless LAN environment, the machine enters sleep mode, but does not enter deep sleep
mode.
Do not place any devices (especially microwave ovens or digital cordless telephones) that emit
weak electromagnetic waves near the machine.
Install the machine near a wireless LAN access point or wireless device with no obstacles between
them (the distance should be within 30 m).
Wireless connections may be difficult if there is any metal, aluminum framed windows, or reinforced
concrete walls between the machine and the wireless LAN access point.
Wireless LAN connections may have slower transmission speeds, depending on the environment,
than wired LAN or USB connections. We recommend using a wired LAN or a USB connection to print
large amounts of data, such as photographs.
The illustrations of the machine and the control panel in this manual use the MC363dnw as an
example. For how to use the actual control panel, see the user manual for the machine you
purchased.
Note
The wireless LAN function may be disabled in the default factory settings. If this is the case, you need to first set the wireless
LAN to [Enable] on the control panel.
Preparing to Use a Wireless LAN Environment
Checking the Network Environment to Be Used on the Wireless
LAN
You can communicate via a wireless LAN access point to connect to a wireless LAN environment (WPS
compatible).
Before you start, confirm that the wireless LAN access point you are using supports the following
environment.
