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:
•Befo re y ou be gi n, m ak e s ur e y o ur wi re le ss ne t wo rk ad a pt er is pr op e rl y a tt ac h ed to yo ur c om pu te r a nd i s w or ki ng .
•The recommended way to set up your wireless network is to use an acces s 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 wireless 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 work ing on any other wireless net work, either ad hoc or infrastru cture.

In Windows Vista or later
