1. Introduction
The WU5108 is an IEEE802.11b/g/n mini-size USB module that can connect
the BP300 printer equipped with a USB Pin Connecter (Figure 2-1). The
module has a core WiFi chipset, AR9271 which is produced by Atheros
Communications, Inc.
The WU5108 delivers reliable, cost-effective, feature rich wireless connectivity
at high throughput from an extended distance. It supports WMM and
WMM-PS (IEEE802.11e QoS standard); also has an innovative built-in WPS
(Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function which can build a connection between an AP
and synchronize the encryption settings.
2. Features
The WU5108 Module supports various Operating Systems and several
Network Environments. Table2-1 explains the types for the systems.

If the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of
the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed
module. This exterior label shall be: "Contains FCC ID: PO5WU5108”
3. Block Diagram
The WU5108 module consists of Main Chipset, AR9271 and peripheral parts
(Fiqure3-1). It communicates with an external Main Printer PCB by using
standard USB2.0 interface (Fiqure2-1).
When the adopter power is applied to the printer, it will be supplied to
WU5108 via USB 2.0 Power Pin (5V Pin in the USB2.0).

4. Installation
The BP300 Printer has an ARM926EJ CPU and 4MByte Flash Memory for a
program execution file. The Module driver is already embedded in the file. The
execution file is produced from compiling the ARM based codes, and then it is
flashed in the flash memory using a flash memory writing equipment.
When the printer has Power-ON, the module has 5V power from the printer
PCB via USB connector (Figure4-1).

5. WU5108 Setup
The WU5108 module in BP300 printer will be set up via the Android & iPhone
application (Bolle Photo Air) to use a wireless printing. The module supports
the securities –WPA, WPA2, and WEP64/128. The application program can
check the each security one by one to connect to the Router.
In order to print an Image via WU5108 Module from the Smart phones, first of
all, the module should be connected to the AP Router. The Routers have their
own security such as WPA, WPA2 and WEP64/128.
To connect to the AP (Router), the steps will be follows:
<iPhone Setup Case>
1. Using the iPhone Application(Bolle Photo Air), the Setting button in the
Main Application window is to click. The application can be
downloaded from the AppStore for iPhone and Android.
2. Put the Router Password and Printer Name, and then click the Setup
Printer button. The security will be checked one by one automatically.
That is, first, checking the WPA2 -> WPA -> WEP64/128 with the
password, automatically.

3. The iPhone application sends the setting data to the printer via the
Phone’s USB 2.0 cable
4. The printer gets the setting data and run the WU5108 Driver to search
the Router. If the module connect to the Router, it sends the success
message to the Main CPU(DC1250), and then the Main CPU sends
the message to the Smart phone.

<Android Phone Setup Case>
1. Using the Android Phone Application(Bolle Photo Air), the Setting
button in the Main Application window is to click
2. Put the Router Password and Printer Name, and then click the Setup
Printer button.
3. The Android Phone application sends the setting data to the printer via
the Phone’s USB 2.0 cable. The printer gets the data and run the
WU5108 Driver to search the Router. If the module connect to the
Router, it sends the success message to the Main CPU(DC1250), and
then the Main CPU sends the message to the Smart phone.

<How to work for Printing via WU5108>
The printer has the WU5108 module in the case. The printer(BP300) can print
an image via a wireless Router getting the image from the phone.
<Figure 5-1> Interface between Printer and Smart Phone
1. In order to print from the phone, open the application in the phone and
then open an image to want to print. Click the “Print”button to print

2. The application sends a command to list up what printers are available
to print. The WU5108 Module is already ready to get the image from
the phone via a router. If it gets the image, it sends to the Main CPU to
process to print.
