Wireless network setup

Make sure your machine supports a wireless network.
Wireless network may not be available depending on the
model.

Getting started
Understanding your network type
Typically, you can only have one connection between your
computer and the machine at a time.
Infrastructure mode
This is an environment generally used for homes and
SOHOs (Small Office/ Home Office). This mode uses
an access point to communicate with the wireless
machine.
Ad hoc mode
This mode does not use an access point. The wireless
computer and wireless machine communicates
directly.
2. Using a network-connected machine
Wireless network name and network key
Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is
first set up, a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a
Network Key are created for the network. Locate this information
before proceeding with the machine installation.

You can install a wireless network from the machine's control panel
or the computer.
