within a local area network, (LAN) and its wireless capabilities
allow communications from any point within the LAN’s perim-
eter. Printers equipped with the dual Bluetooth and 802.11b
WLAN radio configuration can be linked to both a WLAN and a
Bluetooth network. Methods of establishing communications
to the printer will vary with each LAN application.
Methods of establishing communications to QL series print-
ers will vary with each LAN application. General informa-
tion on establishing WLAN communications can be found in
