Creating an ad hoc wireless network

You can set up an ad hoc network if you:
•Do not have an access point or wireless router
•Do not have a wireless network (but do have a wireless net work adapter for your computer)
•Want to set up a standalone network between the printer and a comput er with a wireless network adapter
Notes:
•Before you begin, make sure your wireless network adapter is properly attached to your computer and is working.
•The recommended way to set up your wireless network is to use an ac cess point (wireless router). This network
setup is called infrastructure network.
•If your computer has MyWi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct, then you can create direct connections to your wir eless printer. For
more information, see the documentation that came with your compu ter.
•The printer can communicate on only one wireless network at a time. Configuring the printer for an ad hoc wireless
network will keep it from working on any other wirel ess network, either ad hoc or infrastructure .
