3. Mode Operasi

The WAVLINK USB Wireless Print Server supports three primary operating modes:

• Mode Berkabel: In this mode, the print server connects to your router via an Ethernet cable. Computers on the same network can then access the connected USB printer. This mode provides a stable and reliable connection.
• Mode Nirkabel: The print server connects to your existing Wi-Fi network. This allows for flexible placement of the print server and printer within your Wi-Fi coverage area, enabling wireless printing from any device on the same Wi-Fi network.
• Modus Mandiri: The print server creates its own Wi-Fi signal, allowing devices to connect directly to it for printing. In this mode, the print server does not connect to your main router, and devices connected to the print server's Wi-Fi will not have internet access. This is useful for dedicated printing setups where network access is not required.
