Wireless LAN connection

There are two types of wireless LAN connections available, one of which uses an access

point to connect and the other which does not. Select the connection method that best

matches your network environment.

When using an access point (Infrastructure Mode)

Infrastructure Mode is a communications mode that connects through a commercial access

point, broadband router, or similar tool. Users connect via access points, which allows them

to set up the computer and printer separately in dierent areas.

There are two conguration methods available, an automatic conguration method set up

using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) and a manual conguration method.

Automatic setup by using a button on both the printer and an access point (p.12)

Manual setup (All required information such as IP address needs to be manually input)

(p.27)

When connecting the printer to a smartphone or a tablet computer, go to the link below.

When not using an access point (Simple AP Mode)

In this mode, a computer, Smartphone, or other device communicates directly with the

printer via a wireless connection without using an access point.

The below conditions must be met before this connection mode can be used.

• The computer or portable terminal to be connected is set up for wireless LAN and the

wireless LAN switch is turned on

• The computer is not connected to a wireless LAN

• The computer is set up to acquire an IP address automatically
