Chapter 4 - Managing and configuring the printer

60

For example, if you configured profile 1 for printing in an infrastructure environment (for example, the

office) and configured profile 2 for printing in an ad hoc environment (for example, away from the office

or on the road), you only have to move the switch between 1 and 2 to switch between those profiles.

Make sure the switch is in the appropriate position (1, 2, or 3) to match the profile you are using before

sending a print job. For example, if you are on the road and had previously configured switch position 2

for ad hoc wireless printing on the road, move the switch to position 2 before sending a print job.

NOTE:

After switching from one wireless profile to another, the first print job takes 10 seconds or so

before it starts to print.
