Connect the printer to a wireless network
This section contains information about connecting the printer to a wireless network. For
more information about wireless networking, see the HP LaserJet 1320nw printer Wireless
User Guide.
NOTE
The printer cannot be connected to a wired and wireless network at the same time.
NOTE
It is highly recommended that you implement a wireless security scheme (either Wired
Equivalent Privacy [WEP] or Wi-Fi protected access [WPA]) prior to setup. In addition, use
an antivirus program to protect against computer viruses, and follow basic security rules.
Other network components, including firewalls, intrusion-detection systems, and segmented
networks, should also be considered as part of the network design.
Select one of the following wireless printer installation methods:
● Windows wireless network infrastructure method. See
Network components and
procedure for Windows infrastructure network installation (recommended).
● Windows wireless network ad hoc (peer-to-peer) method. See
Network components and
procedure for Windows ad hoc (peer-to-peer) network installation (for advanced users).
● Macintosh wireless network infrastructure method (for Macintosh users). See
Procedure
for connecting to a Macintosh wireless network.

infrastructure network installation (recommended)
This section contains information about the required networking components and a
procedure for installing to a wireless network using the infrastructure method.
NOTE
HP recommends the infrastructure network mode installation.
Network information
Obtain the following information from the system administrator or the person who installed
the network:
● The network's name (SSID): the SSID identifies a particular wireless network. In order to
operate on a network, any connecting device must know the network name.
● The network's security settings (if used): WEP and the WEP key used, authentication
method (Open, Shared Key, or Preshared Key [PSK]), and Encryption (none, WEP, or
WPA).
● The network's communication mode must be infrastructure network mode.
In infrastructure mode, the printer communicates with network computers through a
wireless access point (WAP) or a base station. The access point acts as a central hub or
gateway connecting wireless and, optionally, wired devices.
