Connected to a wireless capable computer without a WLAN access point/router in the network (Ad-hoc mode)

This type of network does not have a central WLAN access point/router. Each wireless client communicates directly with each other. When the Brother wireless machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs directly from the computer sending the print data.
