1. Introduction
This Network manual provides information on the connection of network with the Industrial
Label printer. We at BIXOLON maintain ongoing efforts to enhance and upgrade the
functions and quality of all our products. In following, product specifications and/or user
manual content may be changed without prior notice.
2. Precaution
1) Using WLAN in TX / DX / DL Series / SRP-770III / E770III requires WLAN USB Adapter.
We recommend using the WLAN USB Adapter provided by BIXOLON. If not, WLAN

2) The maximum separating distance may be shortened if transmission obstacles, such as
cement walls, are present
3) If a device (such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN, etc.) that uses the same
frequency is present, transmission may be interrupted. Separate the printer and
Bluetooth-enabled device from such interrupting devices by a distance of at least 5m.
