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 network adapter for your computer)

•Want to set up a standalone network between the printer and a computer 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 access point (wireless router). This network setup is called infrastructure network.

•If your computer has MyWi-Fior Wi-Fi Direct, then you can create direct connections to your wireless printer. For more information, see the documentation that came with your computer.

•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 wireless network, either ad hoc or infrastructure.
