Wireless LAN
Cameo Printers can be equipped with a several radio options using the industry
standard 802.11 or 802.11b protocol. These printers will have the FCC I.D. number
of the radio on the product label. They allow wireless communication as a node
within a local area network, (LAN) and its wireless capabilities allow
communications from any point within the LAN’s perimeter. Methods of establishing
communications to the Cameo printer will vary with each LAN application.
General information on establishing WLAN communications can be found in the
Programmers Manual available on -line at:

NOTE: For further information regarding the 802.11 communication options, refer to the safety
and regulatory information included in the Cameo User’s Manual. You may download

Wireless Communications with Bluetooth™
“Bluetooth” is a worldwide standard for the exchange of data between two devices
via radio frequencies. Bluetooth radios are relatively low powered to help prevent
interference with other devices running at similar radio frequencies. This limits the
range of a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters (about 32 feet).
Both the printer and the device it communicates with must follow the Bluetooth
standard.
In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth enabled devices must establish a
connection. Bluetooth software is always running in the background, ready to
respond to connection requests. One device (known as the
master
or the
client)
must request a connection with another. The second device (the
slave
or the
server
) then accepts or rejects the connection. A Bluetooth enabled QL 420 will
normally act as a slave, but in theory any Bluetooth device can be either a master or
a slave. This miniature network is sometimes referred to as a “piconet” and can
consist of several Bluetooth enabled devices.
Each Bluetooth printer has a unique Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) loaded when
manufactured. For the most part, communications using the Bluetooth protocol are
initiated and processed without any operator intervention, much like the IrDA system
described previously. Information on Bluetooth communications can be found in the
Programmers Manual available on -line at:
