Connecting to a Wireless LAN (Optional)

Connect the printer to a network by using a wireless LAN.
Note
The wireless LAN module (optional) may not be available in some countries and regions.
[Cautions] For using a wireless LAN
Read the following cautions carefully before using the printer in a wireless LAN environment.
The printer cannot connect to a wired LAN and wireless LAN at the same time. If using a wireless LAN, do not connect a LAN
cable to the printer.
If the printer is used in a wireless network environment, the printer does not enter Deep Sleep mode but enters Sleep mode.
Do not place any electric products that emit weak radio waves (such as microwaves or digital cordless telephones) close to the
printer.
If there is metal, aluminum sash, or a reinforced concrete wall between the printer and wireless access points, connections may be
harder to be established.
The communication speed of a Wireless LAN connection may be slower than that of a wired LAN or USB connection depending on
the environment. If you want to print big data such as a photo, it is recommended to print with a wired LAN or USB connection.

Preparations to use a wireless LAN
