^WL - Set LEAP Parameters

^WL turns on Cisco's Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol and stores the user name and password that the wireless card authenticates with. Not every wireless card offers LEAP, so a printer whose radio cannot use LEAP can still accept the command. ^WL and ~WL are different commands — ~WL prints a network configuration label.

Syntax

^WLa,b,c

Support

Recognised, deliberately skippedparsed: none · state: none · rendered: none

Accepted and skipped, because it configures the printer rather than the label. It cannot change the rendered output, and Labelary skips it too.

Wireless authentication, settled before any format arrives. The renderer does not parse this command. It reports IGNORED_COMMAND at info severity, which does not reach X-Warnings. Labelary is also silent, so the rendered label is identical in both engines. — not pinned by a test

Labelary renders this command.

Parameters

aModeoptional · one of a set

Whether the card uses LEAP authentication.

Default: OFF
Invalid value: not documented, and we have not measured it. The renderer does not parse or measure this command.
Test coverage: No documented value is exercised by a test (OFF, ON).

OFF: LEAP disabled (default)
ON: LEAP enabled

bUser namerequired · text

The LEAP user name, 4 to 40 alphanumeric characters.

Invalid value: not documented, and we have not measured it. The renderer does not parse or measure this command. The guide's table gives this row a "Default Value" of "Any 4 to 40 alphanumeric characters user", which conflates the accepted values with the default. Treat the default as unstated.
Test coverage

cPasswordrequired · text

The LEAP password, 4 to 40 alphanumeric characters.

Invalid value: not documented, and we have not measured it. The renderer does not parse or measure this command. As with the user name, the guide's "Default Value" row states the accepted length, not a default.
Test coverage

Behavior

The user name and password are each 4 to 40 alphanumeric characters. The guide's parameter table gives them a "Default Value" row that repeats that length and names no default. This page therefore treats their defaults as unstated.

Credentials never reach a format. The renderer ignores this command and reads no arguments. It reports IGNORED_COMMAND at info severity, which does not reach the X-Warnings header. Labelary is also silent, so the rendered label is identical in both engines.

Example

Enabling LEAP with a user name and password. The label is unaffected:

^XA
^WLON,zebrauser,zebrapass
^FO40,60^A0N,50,50^FDLEAP on^FS

^WP Set Wireless PasswordChanges the four-digit password that protects the wireless settings on the control panel.
~WL Print Network Configuration LabelPrints a label listing the printer's current network configuration.
