or simply out and about from your smart phone, notebook computer, or mobile device.

Share the printer easily with wired (Fast Ethernet) networking
Designed to be easy to share, the printer offers embedded wired networking capabilities that allow you to

driver on each of the computers on the network (if the driver is already installed, you may need to select “Add a

Connect hassle-free with wireless networking
The dw models include built-in wireless networking, so you can connect the printer directly to a wireless (WiFi)
network without using an external print server.
