Abstract
A wireless network printer that can access a cable LAN and has an access point function. The wireless network printer includes a wireless LAN card that receives predetermined data from a wireless LAN card of a first wireless client and transmits the data to a cable client connected to a cable LAN or a wireless LAN card of a second wireless client, and a printer processor that receives the data output from the wireless LAN card having the access point function. The wireless network printer provides an access point function in a wireless LAN and allows wire/wireless network printing.
Claims29
A method of transmitting data using a wireless network printer, comprising:
- providing in the printer a wireless LAN card that has an access point;
- receiving via the access point predetermined data transmitted from a wireless LAN card of a first wireless client;
- and
- transmitting via the access point the data to a wireless LAN card of a second wireless client.
A method of transmitting data using a wireless network printer, comprising:
- providing in the printer a wireless LAN card in communication with a cable LAN and having an access point;
- receiving via the access point predetermined data from a wireless LAN card of a wireless client;
- and
- transmitting via the access point the data to a cable client connected to the cable LAN.
A method of transmitting data using a wireless network printer comprising:
- providing in the printer a wireless LAN card that is connected to a cable LAN and has an access point;
- receiving via the access point predetermined data from a cable client connected to the cable LAN;
- and
- transmitting via the access point the data to a wireless LAN card of a wireless client.
A method of transmitting data using a wireless network printer comprising:
- providing in the printer a wireless LAN card that is connected to a cable LAN and has an access point;
- receiving via the access point first data transmitted from a first client;
- and
- detecting in the access point a target Internet protocol of the first data and transmitting via the access point second data to a second client which corresponds to the target Internet protocol.
A method of transmitting data, comprising:
- connecting a wireless client to a wireless network printer including a wireless LAN card that is connected to a cable LAN and having an access point;
- and
- transmitting or receiving via the access point predetermined data by accessing an Internet connected to the cable LAN via the wireless LAN card.
A wireless network printer, comprising:
- a wireless LAN card receiving predetermined data from a wireless LAN card of a first wireless client, and transmitting via an access point function the data to a cable client connected to a cable LAN or a wireless LAN card of a second wireless client;
- and
- a printer processor receiving the data output from the wireless LAN card having the access point function.
A wireless LAN card, comprising:
- an access processor receiving data output from a wireless LAN card of a first wireless client and transmitting the data to a cable LAN connected to the wireless LAN card or a wireless LAN card of a second wireless client;
- and
- an interface transmitting the data output from the access processor to an output terminal of the wireless LAN card.
A wireless LAN card, comprising:
- a programmed computer processor receiving data from a wireless LAN card of a first wireless client and transmitting the data to a cable LAN connected to the wireless LAN card, a wireless LAN card of a second wireless client, or an output terminal of the wireless LAN card.
A wireless network printer in communication with a cable LAN, comprising:
- a wireless network access controller receiving predetermined data received from wireless clients and/or cable clients connected to the cable LAN and transmitting the predetermined data to the wireless clients, the cable client and/or a printer processor of the wireless network printer.
An office network system, comprising:
- a cable LAN providing data communication among cable clients and Internet;
- and
- wireless network printers each comprising a network access controller providing data communication among wireless clients, the cable clients, the printer and the Internet.
A network printer, comprising:
- a wireless LAN card that can be connected to a cable LAN and has an access point function allowing data communication using the network printer, thereby providing a mobile access point.
