802.11b option
If your printer has the 802.11b module in it then you should make sure that before you start
communicating via 802.11b Dip Switches # 1 and 2 are turned ON. The third LED on the
printer will turn AMBER which indicates that you are in 802.11b mode. If you wish to go
back to RS 232 mode just switch all Dip Switches OFF. The factory default 802.11b
module settings are as follows:
Default Set up of the DPAC 802.11b modules in the 4500 printers

2)
DHCP mode is not enabled
3)
Ad - Hoc mode is enabled/ Infrastructure mode is disabled
4)
SSID is NETGEAR
5)
Tunnel port = 23 ( If you want to send data to the 802.11b module use this port number)
6)
Telnet port = 8023 ( If you need to send commands to the 802.11b module use this port
number)
7)
Bit Rate is set to 115200
Please refer to the 802.11b kit on this CD for further information on how to communicate
via 802.11b. Use the Extech_MCR_DEMO on this CD to communicate with the printer if
you are using a PocketPC device and the PrinterCE_NETCF demo if you are using Ce.Net
device. Currently though the Ce.Net demo does not support 802.11 b printing and can be
used with BT only. If you need to use a demo which supports 802.11b printing from a
Ce.Net device you can download one from

BT Option
If your printer has a BT module then make sure that Dip Switch # 2 is ON. The POWER
LED will turn BLUE indicating that you are in BT mode. IF you wish to go back to RS
232 mode turn all Dip switches OFF.
The POWER LED will start blinking GREEN indicating that you are now in RS 232 mode.
As soon as you connect a device to the printer thought through the Serial Port the green
light will turn steady Green indicating that there is a connection. Use the
Extech_MCR_Demo on this CD to communicate with the printer. Check your device’s BT
manager to find out which comm. port is dedicated to the BT. Then use that comm. Port in
the application in order to connect to the printer’s BT module. The baud rate should be
115,000 and the stop bits should be set to 2. Select the NO HANDSHAKING option if
