Confirming Your Connection Type - Canon PIXMA iP5200R Setup Manual

Confirming Your Connection
Type
If your printer is connected to a network, it can be shared by multiple computers.
This printer can be used over wireless or wired LAN, as well as with USB connection.
Connection types available for this printer are as follows.
• wireless LAN via an access point (see page 5)
• wired LAN (see page 6)
• USB connection (see page 6)
• combination of USB connection and LAN (wireless or wired) (see page 7)
Before starting setup, make sure you know the type of connection available to your computer, and decide on
a connection type for your printer.
• Choose a connection method based on how you intend to connect to the printer.
For example, if the connection between the computer and access point is wireless and the printer
and access point are connected by LAN cable, the printer connection method becomes wired LAN.
• We recommend that you do not use the printer over a wired and wireless LAN at the same time
since advanced network knowledge is required.
Refer to the manuals of your network devices for necessary information. In an office setup, consult
your network administrator.
