Wireless networking basics

The printer's built-in wireless communications feature allows you to connect the printer directly to an 802.11g or 802.11b Wi-Fi wireless network without the aid of an external print server.

To install the printer on a wireless network, follow the wireless installation instructions in the setup guide that came with the printer.

Wi-Fi

802.11g and 802.11b

Wi-Fi is a wireless communications technology that allows you to connect computers and other devices (such as printers) to each other and the Internet without the use of wires. The printer is compatible with two types of Wi-Fi technology: 802.11g and 802.11b.

Both 802.11g and 802.11b operate by radio transmission in the 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz) frequency band. 802.11g devices communicate at a maximum speed of 54 megabits per second (Mb/s). 802.11b devices communicate at a maximum speed of 11 Mb/s.

For instructions to switch the printer between 802.11b and 802.11g, click here.
