Combination Of Usb Connection And Lan (Wireless Or Wired); Using Both Usb Cable And Wireless Lan Connections - Canon PIXMA iP5200R Setup Manual

Combination of USB Connection and LAN
(Wireless or Wired)

Using both USB Cable and Wireless LAN Connections

A computer communicates directly with the printer with a USB cable, while other computers are
connected over a wireless LAN (infrastructure mode).
You can exploit this configuration by setting up the printer over either a USB connection first, or
over a wireless connection first.
You can connect to a USB-connected printer from another computer over wireless LAN, and
connect another computer by USB to a wireless LAN-connected printer.
• A wireless LAN card or adapter must be installed in your computer to connect your computer to the
wireless LAN.
• A variant is the wireless LAN setup shown below, where your wireless LAN access point has the
router function, instead of your Internet connection device, such as a broadband modem. The type
of device in use in your network may vary. Refer to the manual provided with your device or
contact its manufacturer for details.

• The printer and the router need to be in the same network.
You need to perform setup both on the computer to be used with USB connection and on the
computers to be used over wireless LAN.
