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.
