Why do I need an installation cable? | Lexmark 5600 Series specs

Scenario 3: Wireless network with no Internet access

•Computers and printers connect to the network using a wireless access point.

•The network has no connection to the Internet.

Scenario 4: Computer connected wirelessly to a printer without Internet access

•A computer is directly connected to a printer without going through a wireless router.

•This configuration is referred to as an ad hoc network.

•The network has no connection to the Internet.

Note: Most computers can connect to only one wireless network at a time. If you access the Internet over a wireless connection, you will lose Internet access if you are connect to an ad hoc network.

Why do I need an installation cable?

When setting up the printer on your wireless network, the printer will need to temporarily connect to a computer using the installation cable. This temporary connection is used to set up the wireless settings of the printer.

The installation cable connects to a rectangular USB port on the installing computer and the square USB port on the printer.
