Epson offers two wireless printing devices, allowing supported Epson printers to print without cables
through a radio connection. One supports the IEEE 802.11b standard, and the other supports the
Bluetooth™ standard. What are the differences between the Bluetooth Print Adapter from Epson and
the EpsonNet 802.11b Wireless Print Server?
▲

802.11b technology is a wireless Ethernet standard which supports transfer rates of up to 11
Mbps, and network printing up to a distance of 300 feet (depending on environmental
conditions.)
802.11b technology is a network cable replacement, which allows multiple users to share
a printer using wireless technology similar to using a wired network.
❍ The EpsonNet 802.11b Wireless Print Server is only available bundled with the EPSON
Stylus C80WN and is currently not sold separately.

❍

▲

Bluetooth technology offers printer-to-computer connectivity via low power, short-range radio
frequency up to a distance of 33 feet.
❍
❍

This technology is a USB/serial cable replacement and does not allow printer sharing.
The Bluetooth Print Adapter from Epson is an external device that plugs into the parallel
port of many Epson's printers.
