– Encryption level, encryption key entries, or the specied transmit key.
– IP address
– Basic service set identier (BSSID), which distinguishes one wireless LAN from another even though they
have the same SSID.
● The wireless function is turned on and operating correctly (print an HP Jetdirect conguration page).
● The printer/computer is within range of the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server.
● If the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server is in peer-to-peer mode, there are fewer than six devices total.
● If you are initially setting up the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server, and the connection fails after entering the
conguration settings, reset the print server to factory-default settings (cold reset) and try again.
Congured
channel does not match the conguration page
Use the following information when a congured channel does not match the conguration page.
Use the HP conguration tools to select channel 10 (default) or 11 on the HP Jetdirect 2700w Print Server.
●
This channel is used by the print server to broadcast its network name (SSID) if it fails to detect and join an
existing wireless network.
● If this channel is able to join a network, the printer server will recongure its channel to the one used by the
network.
NOTE: The HP Jetdirect conguration page identies the network channel being used on a network. It does
not show the broadcast channel used when a network is not detected.
Improve reception and performance
The HP Jetdirect wireless print server's data transfer rates might decrease with increasing distance, obstructions,
and interference. Use the following guidelines to improve the reception and performance of the product.
Wireless LAN radio signals can penetrate many indoor structures and can reect around obstacles. However,
wireless communication range and performance depends on a variety of factors, including the number of users,
the quality and physical placement of the wireless hardware, and the sources of radio signal interference.
For example, microwave ovens and cordless telephones use similar frequencies that can interfere with wireless
LAN signals.
For these symptoms
● The signal strength is poor or marginal.
● Print jobs are excessively slow.
Troubleshoot reception and performance issues
● Re-orient the printer. In general, having the print server pointed toward the access point or wireless
computer improves reception and performance.
● Reduce or remove sources of interference. Metallic objects can absorb or attenuate radio signals, and
devices such as microwave ovens and cordless phones operate using similar radio frequencies.
