Solutions

If you experience one of the problems above, take one of the following actions. The action to be taken depends on the wireless network environment you are using:

  • If IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11b are available in a wireless network environment, IEEE802.11b is sometimes preferred for network connection. The recommended line speed for the machine is 1 Mbps. To use the machine at a stable line speed, we recommend using it in a wireless network environment in which only IEEE802.11n/g is available.

  • Avoid environments that have multiple wireless LAN standards.

  • Turn off any wireless networking or radio devices that are not being used.

  • If there are multiple devices in the environment that support IEEE802.11n, use IEEE802.11n with a single channel.

  • Use the machine in an environment with stable reception, making sure to confirm the distance from the access point and check for any obstructions.

  • If the environment has multiple wireless LAN standards, change the access point channel. There should be a difference of at least five between the channel settings for each LAN standard. For example, set one standard to channel 1 and the other to channel 6.

  • Keep the machine as far away as possible from highly conductive objects such as metal.

  • This wireless product uses the 2.4 GHz band. Make sure there is no industrial, scientific, or medical equipment that uses the same frequency band currently in operation, such as a microwave. Interference can cause communication to become unstable. Before using the machine, make sure that there is no equipment around that may potentially cause interference.

  • If you experience radio interference or other wireless networking problems, please call the support desk.
