LAN. For details on configuring the printer, see your printer documentation.
2
If necessary, configure the Bridge to associate with your access point.
3
Connect the Bridge to the power supply in its permanent location.
4
Connect the network printer directly to the Bridge as shown in Figure 11,
or to a hub that is connected to the Bridge as shown in “Connecting to a
Hub” on page 15.
