Channel 1
Channel 2
Roaming is enabled
when the same ESSID
is assigned.
If the printer failed in connection to an access point due
to weak radio signals in spite of an active scanning with
ESSID “ABC”, the printer retries every 40 seconds.
ESSID (Extended Service Set ID):
One of the identifiers
identifying a name of a wireless access point. It is named by a
user.
BSSID (Basic Service Set ID):
One of the identifiers, generally
identifying the MAC address of an access point in the case of
BSS networks. It is not changeable by a user.
Note: Direct communication with wireless device is not allowed
when BSSID is different.
Channel 1
Channel 2
Roaming is enabled
when the same ESSID is
assigned.
The printer tries an active scanning, and connects to the
network of BSSID: X1 when it receives a valid response
from the access point assigned with BSSID: X1.” The
channel to be used is the one used by the connected
access point.
