Configuring wireless communication options
Configuring basic wireless communication settings
In order to install the printer on a wireless network, you need to know the network’s
communication mode and its network name (SSID, or Service Set Identifier). Consult the
configuration utility for your computer’s network card or for your network’s Wireless Access
Point (WAP).
There are two options for a network’s communication mode.
Infrastructure (recommended)
When the printer is set to the infrastructure communication mode, the printer
communicates with other devices on the network, whether the devices are wired or
wireless, through a WAP. WAPs commonly act as routers or gateways on small networks.
Ad hoc (advanced users only)
When the printer is set to the ad hoc communication mode, the printer communicates
directly with other wireless devices without the use of a WAP.
