Connecting to a Wireless Network
A wireless local area network (WLAN) provides the means to connect two or more devices in a LAN
without a physical connection. The printer can connect to a wireless LAN that includes a wireless router
or wireless access point. Before connecting the printer to a wireless network, the wireless router must be
configured with a service set identifier (SSID) and any necessary credentials.
Note:
Wireless networking is available only on printers with the optional Wireless Network
Adapter installed.
Installing the Wireless Network Adapter
The optional wireless network adapter plugs in to the back of the control board. After the adapter is
installed, and wireless networking is enabled and configured, the adapter is able to connect to a
wireless network.
