Introduction 5

Introduction

Your E SON Stylus® C84WN printer combines all the features of E SON’s

exclusive ink jet technology—extremely fast print speeds, ultra-sharp text, vibrant

colors, and long-lasting DuraBrite® ink—with a wireless print server.

■You can print from any computer on your existing network, if the network

includes a wireless access point or Air ort® base station.

■Even without an existing wireless network, you can print from any computer

equipped with a wireless card or adapter, from distances up to 120 feet.

The EpsonNet 802.11b Wireless rint Server included with the printer is

compatible with most wireless cards, adapters and access points that comply with

the WiFi™ (Wireless Fidelity) standard. This book provides all the instructions

you’ll need for setting up the printer, installing the software, and configuring your

system for wireless printing.

Wireless Printing

The E SON® Stylus C84WN is designed for use in a small office, home, or

school network. On a wired network like the one illustrated below, the computers

and other equipment share information through a series of cables.

Computers

RouterCable/DSL modem

6Introduction

With a wireless network, you share information between computers and printers

using radio waves, similar to the technology used in cordless phones. You can place

the E SON Stylus C84WN in a convenient location and print to it without

having to connect it to your computer or network.

If you have an access point/base station, both wired and wireless-equipped

computers can print to the printer. An access point might also allow computers to

share other resources, such as Internet access.

The illustration below shows a wireless network that uses an access point.

If you don’t have an access point, you can still print to the E SON Stylus C84WN

from any desktop computer or laptop that has a wireless card or adapter. In the

illustration below, both wireless-equipped computers communicate directly with

the print server.

Windows System Requirements 7

Before you can set up your E SON Stylus C84WN, you need to decide how you

will use it: either with an access point (in infrastructure mode), or without an access

point (in ad hoc mode, also called ad hoc 802.11b, computer-to-computer, and

peer-to-peer).

Windows System Requirements

For wireless printing with the E SON Stylus C84WN, make sure each computer

meets the following requirements:

■A Microsoft® Windows® compatible C or laptop with a entium®-

equivalent processor, 333 MHz or faster recommended

■Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT® 4.0, Windows 2000, or

Windows X

■64MB of RAM (128MB recommended)

■100MB of free hard disk space (200MB or more recommended)

■VGA or better display adapter and monitor (SVGA for Windows X )

■CD-ROM or DVD drive for installing the printer software

In addition, each computer needs to be connected to an existing wired network

with a wireless access point, or needs to have a wireless card or adapter.

■You can use an access point alone or in combination with a hub or router.

works in ad hoc mode.
