Kyocera IB-38 Network Card (NIC) 1503V10US0

The Kyocera IB-38 is a wireless LAN

The Kyocera IB38 is a wireless LAN interface expansion option designed to enhance the connectivity of Kyocera multifunction printers (MFPs) and printers. Unlike the IB-37, which supports both 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands, the IB-38 is specifically designed for 2.4GHz Wi-Fi communication. This makes it suitable for environments where 2.4GHz networks are more prevalent or where dual-band support is not required.

Key Features of the IB-38:
– **2.4GHz Wi-Fi Capability:** The IB-38 operates on the 2.4GHz band, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of older wireless networks and devices.
– **Wi-Fi Direct:** Allows direct connection to mobile devices and computers without the need for a wireless router, facilitating easy printing from smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
– **Simultaneous Wired and Wireless Connections:** Can handle both wired and wireless connections simultaneously, enabling flexible network setups and improved data han

Compatible Printers:
The IB-38 is compatible with several Kyocera printer and MFP models, including:

Nearly every Kyocera ECOSYS produced plus

TASKalfa Series:**
– TASKalfa 7054ci, 6054ci, 5054ci, 4054ci, 3554ci, 2554ci
– TASKalfa 7004i, 6004i, 5004i

ECOSYS Series:**
– ECOSYS PA6000x, PA5500x, PA5000x, PA4500x, PA3500cx, PA4000CX, PA4500ci, MA4500ix, MA4500ifx, MA5500ifx, M6000ifx, MA3500cifx, MA4000cix, MA4000cifx, MA4500i, MZ3200i, MA4000i

Additional Features
The IB-38 supports various advanced networking functions such as job accounting management and the Command Center RX for remote management. This allows administrators to monitor and control the printer’s settings and usage across multiple departments, helping to optimize the printing environment and reduce costs.

In summary, the IB-38 offers 2.4GHz support providing wireless connectivity, having a practical range of 98 feet in direct sight or approximately 40 feet through standard office walls of wireless communication.

Benefits of Using IB-38:
– **Cost-Effective:** The IB-38 offers a more affordable solution for wireless connectivity by focusing on the widely used 2.4GHz band.
– **Ease of Integration:** The ability to handle simultaneous wired and wireless connections simplifies network integration and expands the flexibility of printer placement within an office.
– **User-Friendly:** Features such as Wi-Fi Direct enable straightforward, router-less connections to mobile devices, enhancing user convenience.

The IB-38 is particularly beneficial for offices looking to maintain robust wireless communication without the need for dual-band support. For more detailed information on compatible models and additional features, you can visit Kyocera’s official website
