Wireless network setup
•
Make sure your machine supports wireless networking. Wireless
networking may not be available depending on the model (see "Features
by model" on page 6).
•
If the IPv6 network seems to not be working, set all the network settings
to the factory defaults and try again using
Clear Setting
.

Getting started
Understanding your network type
Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and the
machine at a time.
Wireless network name and network password
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 Password are
created for the network. Ask your network administrator about this information
before proceeding with the machine installation.
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 communicate directly.
