Checking Your Network Before you begin the installation process, do the following: ■ Follow the instructions starting on page 9 to set up the print server, connect it to your printer, and test the connection. ■ Make sure the wireless mode for your computer is set to Infrastructure if you are connecting to the printer through an access point, or 802.11b Ad Hoc if you are connecting without an access point. For instructions, see the documentation or online help for your wireless adapter. You need to do this on each computer that you want to use for wireless printing. Do not select a pseudo ad hoc or proprietary ad hoc mode. ■ If you're using infrastructure mode, make sure there is a link with good signal strength (greater than 50 percent) between each computer and the access point. ■ Note the IP address for each computer in your network. (For instructions, see page 50.) ■ If you're using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption on your wireless network, you need to temporarily disable WEP on your computer. Follow the instructions in your wireless adapter's documentation. Be sure to write down the WEP key used on your network. You'll need it when you configure the print server. If your access point only allows WEP-enabled clients to connect to it, you may have to set your computer's wireless mode to 802.11b Ad Hoc before you configure the print server. 13
