Preparing to Install Make sure you do the following to prepare for installation: ■ Follow the instructions beginning on page 7 to set up the printer, install ink cartridges, and load paper. ■ If your computer has a wireless network interface, make sure the wireless mode 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. Note: Do not select a pseudo ad hoc or proprietary ad hoc mode. ■ Make sure you have selected the correct network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier). ■ In Windows XP, check your Wireless Network Connection Properties and make sure your settings are correct. ■ If you're using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption on your wireless network, you need to temporarily disable WEP on your computer. This allows you to connect to and configure the print server. Follow the instructions in your wireless adapter's documentation. Be sure to write down the WEP key used on your network. After you configure the print server, you can enable WEP on your computer again. Note: 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. ■ If you're going to use the printer in ad hoc mode, note the IP address of your computer. (For instructions on viewing a computer's IP address, see page 54.) ■ If your computer has a wireless network interface and you're using infrastructure mode, make sure there is a link with good signal strength (greater than 50 percent) between the computer and the access point. See your wireless adapter's documentation for details. 14 Configuring Wireless Printing for Windows
