* Fully Complies with IEEE802D11b Wireless LAN Standard (Wireless Only)
When the optional wireless LAN adapter card GW-NS11S or GW-NS11H is installed in the card slot on the product, the Mini100W functions as a wireless LAN print server and supports both Adhoc and Infrastructure communication modes.
Furthermore, its on-board (wired) LAN port can be used while the product serves as a wireless LAN print server to provide support for both wired and wireless LAN simultaneously. The Mini100w supports networks mixed with both wireless and wired nodes, allowing flexible construction of a printing environment.

The optional wireless LAN adapter GW-NS11S or GW-NS11H is required to use the product as a wireless LAN print server.

* WEP Encryption Protects Data (Wireless Only)
The product utilizes WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to encrypt data sent over a wireless network, making it virtually impossible to decipher should someone intercept the data by any chance. The Mini100w supports 40/128bit WEP and converts data signals to more than one trillion patterns.

* Supports USB Printers
The Mini100w provides a USB port as its printer interface, and achieves considerably faster transfer of print data compared to the conventional scheme that involves a parallel cable. Being USB compliant, the product also supports Hot Swap and other handy USB features.

* Supports IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), a standard protocol of Windows2000
The Mini100w employs Windows 2000's built-in printing protocol called "IPP" to enable printing via intranets and the Internet.

[Merits of IPP Compatibility]
Sending a document to a remote user over a network usually requires the sender to attach the document to an e-mail message and send it to the other party. In this scheme, the recipient must also open and print out the attachment. If the receiver has a printer with IPP support, on the other hand, the sender can directly print the document on the receiver's printer. In other words, the new scheme:
- Frees the receiving party from the need to open and print out an attachment
- Saves the trouble of starting a PC just to receive and print out the file
- Directly provides a printed copy of the document to the recipient, whether or not the receiver has the software the sending party used.
- Totally eliminates the cost of fax calls if data is sent over the Internet rather than by fax.

 * Easy Configuration (Supplied with a Proprietary Config. Utility)
Using the supplied configuration utility, the user can easily configure the Mini100w from a PC attached to the product. Each parameter can be also configured through a Web browser, and the current configuration parameters may be printed out by simply pressing the switch on the rear panel of the product.
