Scenario 4: Computer connected wirelessly to a printer without Internet access

•

A computer is directly connected to a printer without going through a wireless router.

•

This configuration is referred to as an 

ad hoc network

.

•

The network has no connection to the Internet.

Note: 

Most computers can connect to only one wireless network at a time. If you access the Internet over a wireless

connection, you will lose Internet access if you are connected to an ad hoc network.

What is a USB cable?

A 

Universal Serial Bus

 (USB) cable is primarily used to connect a USB device to a host. Common hosts include

computers and video game consoles. Through the USB port and cable, it is possible to connect computer peripherals
such as mouse devices, keyboards, digital cameras, printers, personal media players, flash drives, and external hard
drives. For many of those devices, USB has become the standard connection method.

Why do I need an installation cable?

When setting up the printer on your wireless network, the printer will need to temporarily connect to a computer
using the installation cable. This temporary connection is used to set up the wireless settings of the printer.

The installation cable connects to a rectangular USB port on the installing computer and the square USB port on the
printer.

How do I attach the USB cable?

The USB cable attaches to a USB port on the computer and to the square connector on the back of the printer. This
connection allows you to configure the printer for a network or local (USB) installation.
