1. SCOPE
This specification applies to the operating specification of the B-SP2D RFLAN Configuration Tool that is
used to set the ireless LAN parameters for the B-SP2D-GH40 portable printer ireless LAN interface
model.
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
There are t o ays to set the ireless LAN parameters: the ay the B-SP2D RFLAN Configuration Tool
is used and the ay the eb bro ser is used.
When using the B-SP2D RFLAN Configuration Tool, the ireless LAN parameters are set via IrDA
interface.
When using the eb bro ser, the parameters are set on the eb bro ser and transferred to the printer
via ireless LAN interface.
Regarding the detailed information about these methods, refer to the B-SP2D Series Wireless LAN
Net ork Specification.
The parameter settings are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the ireless LAN module installed in the
printer.

used.
(1) Confirming the IrDA Setting of the Printer
Turn on the printer hile pressing and holding the FEED button (until the status indicator blinks in
green) to start the printer in the system mode. The printer ill automatically print the self
diagnostic test result. Confirm that IrDA TEC 19200 is printed on it.
If not, refer to the System Mode Section in the B-SP2D Series External Equipment Interface
Specification, and change the setting.
(2) Starting the Printer in the System Mode
Start the printer in the system mode in the above-mentioned procedure, and the printer ill
automatically print the self diagnostic test result.
After the self diagnostic test label is printed, do not press the FEED button. Doing this causes
the printer to print the slant line pattern and enter the mode here the parameter setting cannot be
performed.

(4) Starting the Parameter Setting Mode
First, confirm that IrDA: TEC Protocol is selected for the Control of the Com Settings, and the
IrDA port to hich the ACT-IR220Lplus is connected is selected for the PORT.
Then, face the ACT-IR220Lplus to ard the IrDA interface indo of the printer, and click on the
Start button to cause the printer to enter the do nload mode.
When the do nloading succeeds, the status indicator on the printer ill blink in green.
The B-SP2D RF-LAN Configuration screen ill be sho n ith the Start button and the Com
