Using Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure mode is the printer’s default communication mode, as most Wi-Fi networks function in this
mode. This enables you to connect the device for communication through a single access point, i.e., your
wireless router.
Note: Ad-Hoc mode, also known as “peer-to-peer” mode, is also supported. Ad-Hoc networks do not
require a centralized access point. Instead, devices on the wireless network connect directly to each other.
For instance, if you set up the two laptops in Ad-Hoc wireless mode, they would connect directly to each
other, without the need for a centralized access point. This would be useful for a temporary connection,
e.g., you’re away from the office/home and need to connect two devices via a Wi-Fi connection to
exchange files or other information when there is no other Wi-Fi network to connect both devices to.
To configure Infrastructure mode, proceed as follows:
1. Check that the wireless router is working correctly.
2. Press [Menu].
3. Scroll [
] to [Host Interface], and press [OK].
4. Scroll [
] to [Network Settings], and press [OK].
5. Scroll [
] to [Wi-Fi Config.], and press [OK].
6. Scroll [
] to [Setup Wizard], and press [OK].
7. Select [Infrastructure], and press [OK].
