Wireless Statistics Success and Failure Rates
Pressing the NEXT soft-key again will display the Wireless Statistics Success and Failure Rates
screen, as follows:
The meaning of these values is described in the following table:
Statistic Name
Description
TX SUCCESS The percentage of packets successfully transmitted by the printer’s radio. A
higher number is better.
TX RETRY
The percentage of packets that need to be retransmitted. A lower number is
better. A retry happens because the access point failed to receive the
packet correctly.
RX SUCCESS The percentage of packet successfully received by the radio. A higher
number is better. A packet receive fails due to a Frame Check Sequence
error, meaning the packet was corrupted during transmission.
RX DUPLICATE The percentage of frames that are received more than one. A lower number
is better. This can happen if the access point does not receive an ACK from
the printer for the original frame.
RTS SUCCESS The percentage of times in which CTS is received in response to an RTS.
Higher is better.
The above numbers do not represent hard failures. Under normal circumstances, Success rates
will be lower than 100% and the Retry & Duplicate rates will be higher than 0%. These rates do
provide some information about the quality of the link. If you see low TX/RX Success Rates or
high Retry/Duplicate Rates, you may be experiencing an unacceptably high error rate and need
to take steps to improve the link quality (see Troubleshooting chapter). The statistics are
cleared only when the printer is powered up.
Main Status Display Wireless Errors
During normal operation the OCP displays the printer status, such as the following:
WIRELESS STATISTICS
TX SUCCESS = 100%
TX RETRY = 6%
RX SUCCESS = 96%
RX DUPLICATE = 0%
RTS SUCCESS = 67%
