    Do you think a wireless card from a mpc 3002 will work on a spc830dn printer?

    Greetings
    For some reason i sold a spc830dn to an account who cannot run a wire to their router.
    I have a used pull wireless adapter wth the two big white plastic antennas that i pulled from a mpc 3002.
    Most of the frame,drums,etc and layout look the same.
    I am not familiar with any previous ricoh wireless options so
    I need to know is it worth installing? do i have to do any service mode changes?
    And is it easy to configure once installed? Can a semi tech savvy customer configure it with instructions give?
    thanks

    I just checked the PSG's, they are not the same. c3002 uses Type J and c830dn uses Type L

    Hope this helps

        Here is just one of the many range extenders available on the internet. Even at full price of $49.99, it is much much less expensive than Ricoh's internal adapter and easier to use. Add a 5-port network switch and you can connect multiple devices.

          x3 on the range extender.
          I've installed dozens for use with all sorts of models, and never had an issue.
          2 minute setup.

            The ricoh wireless cards are fairly easy to set up, i have done quite a few. But, they are a piece of junk, a device like suggested is much better.

              i was just trying to turn my old junk into $$$$$$..
              but it is not worth the headaches if it doesnt do as needed.
              thanks all.

                just a last question.
                Does it matter being connected to a mac laptop?
                i would assume no..

                  No. It's really no different than connecting ANY wireless device to wifi network, and of course, as long as the C3002 has P/S which I'm sure you know
