Combination of USB Connection and LAN
(Wireless or Wired)
Using both USB Cable and Wireless LAN Connections
A computer communicates directly with the machine with a USB cable, while other computers
are connected over a wireless LAN (infrastructure mode).
You can exploit this configuration by setting up the machine over either a USB connection first,
or over a wireless connection first.
You can connect to a USB-connected machine from another computer over wireless LAN, and
connect another computer by USB to a wireless LAN-connected machine.
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.
Note
z
A wireless LAN card or adapter must be installed in your computer to connect your computer to the
wireless LAN.
