Introduction

Before you can set up your EPSON Stylus C80WN, you need to decide how you
will use it: either with an access point (in infrastructure mode), or without an access
point (in ad hoc mode, also called ad hoc 802.11b, computer-to-computer, and
peer-to-peer).
Windows System Requirements
For wireless printing with the EPSON Stylus C80WN, make sure each computer
meets the following requirements:
A Microsoft
®
Windows compatible PC or laptop with a Pentium
®
processor or
later, 200 MHz or faster recommended
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT
®
4.0, Windows 2000,
or Windows XP
32MB of RAM (64MB recommended)
100MB of free hard disk space (200MB or more recommended)
VGA or better display adapter and monitor
CD-ROM or DVD drive for installing the printer software
In addition, each computer needs to be connected to an existing wired network that
has a wireless access point, or needs to have a wireless adapter installed.
An access point may be combined with a hub or router or may be a separate
unit. For a current list of supported access points, see EPSON’s web site at:
http://support.epson.com.
Wireless adapters can be installed in a PCMCIA slot on a laptop, a PCI slot in a
desktop computer, or connected through a USB port.
Make sure your wireless adapters(s) work in ad hoc mode if you want to print
without an access point. For a list of supported adapters, see EPSON’s web site at:
