Step 1: Find the network basic wireless

settings

In order to install the printer on a wireless network, you need to know the

communication mode and network name (SSID) of the network. To find these settings,

consult the configuration utility for the computer network card or for the network

Wireless Access Point (WAP).

Communication mode

There are two options for the network communication mode:

•Infrastructure

•Ad hoc

Infrastructure (recommended)

If you want to use a Wireless Access Point (WAP) to connect the printer to a network,

then set the printer to the infrastructure communication mode. In the Infrastructure

mode the printer communicates with other devices on the network, whether the

devices are wired or wireless, through a WAP. WAPs commonly act as routers or

gateways on small networks.

Ad hoc or computer-to-computer networks

If you do not want to use a WAP to connect the printer to a wireless network, then set

the printer to the ad hoc, or “computer-to-computer,” communication mode. In the ad

hoc mode, the printer communicates directly with other wireless devices.
