Preparing to Connect My Multifunction To My Network Network Requirements Before connecting the machine to the network, make sure that configuration of the computer and access point or router is complete, and that the computer is connected to the network. Wireless Connection Before connecting the machine to the network, the computer needs to be connected to the network. Make sure that configuration of the computer and access point or router is complete.
Preparing to Connect My Multifunction To My Network An "Ad-hoc connection," which establishes a direct connection to the computer over a wireless connection without using an access point, is not supported. A wireless access point or router is required to use your printer on a wireless LAN. Notes on Network Connection • The configuration, router functions, setup procedures and security settings of the network device vary depending on your system environment.
Installing the Drivers & Software Software Installation To use the machine by connecting it to a computer, software including the drivers needs to be copied (installed) to the computer's hard disk. The installation process takes about 20 minutes. (The installation time varies depending on the computer environment or the number of application software to be installed.) IMPORTANT • Log on as the administrator (or a member of the Administrators group). • Quit all running applications before installation.
