Communication data can be received by stealth
A third party may intentionally intercept the radio waves to illicitly read your transmission information,
including the print data output to the printer, e-mail contents, and personal information such as passwords
and credit card numbers.
Illegal access
A third person can access the network and cause damage such as the following:
• Stealing of personal information and confidential information (Information leaks)
• Stealing the identity of a certain person to transmit illicit information (Identity theft)
• Replacing intercepted information and transmitting it (Falsification)
• Inserting a computer virus to destroy data or the system (Destruction)
Security Settings
The wireless LAN card and access point have a security settings function to deal with these problems. You
can reduce the possibility these problems will occur by performing security settings before use.
Even with security settings, there is a possibility the security can be breached using
particular methods.
We recommend that you have full understanding regarding security problems and
perform security settings at your own judgment and liability.
Security settings are performed immediately after purchase (Initial setting: WPA2-PSK).
Limitations
• You cannot stop the transmission of radio waves. If you need to stop the transmission of radio waves,
turn off the TM printer.
• The following limitations exist when using ad hoc mode.
The authentication type cannot be set to WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Enterprise.
When you print the status sheet, even if there is not a device to connect to nearby, the Link Status is
shown as Connect.
• The channels that can be set vary by country.
