Advanced wireless setup
Creating an ad hoc wireless network using Mac
The recommended way to set up your wireless network is to use a wireless access point (wireless router). A network
set up this way is called an
infrastructure network
. If you have an infrastructure network in your home, you should
configure your printer for use on that network.
If you don't have a wireless access point (wireless router) or would like to set up a standalone network between your
printer and a computer with a wireless network adapter, you can set up an
ad hoc network
.
