7.4 Setting Up Device for Network Printer
7.4.1 Selecting Configuration for Network Printing
Two configurations are possible:
− The device and the network printer communicate via an independent Wi-Fi
network with standard Wi-Fi components. No security guidelines or network
settings need to be taken into consideration here. This configuration is recom-
mended if no other network functions are being used and simple printing is
enough.
− The device communicates with a company network via Wi-Fi. The network printer
is connected to the company network. All the device’s network functions can be
used in the entire company network. This configuration has 2 restrictions:
− The company network must have a DHCP server.
− Login via Wi-Fi only supports standard authentication methods and no special
security guidelines. This connection cannot be used in company networks
that require special security guidelines.
Procedure
t Check which configuration is suitable for network printing.
