Connecting over Wireless LAN via an Access Point
Your computer communicates with the machine via an access point (the infrastructure mode).
To share the machine among multiple computers, connect them to the access point.
Important
When using this machine in a wireless LAN setup, use the infrastructure mode. It does not support the
ad-hoc mode.
An access point is needed to set up the infrastructure mode.
If you connect to a network that is not protected with security measures, there is a risk of disclosing data
such as your personal information to a third party.

use in your network may vary. Refer to the manual of your device or contact its manufacturer for details.
