To configure the print server for a 802.11b/g wireless network, you must set the wireless mode (Ad-Hoc or infrastructure), SSID, channel (Ad-Hoc mode only), data rate and security. All nodes of a wireless network need to have the same settings in order to communicate with each other.

Make sure that you have properly configured your computer for communication on a wireless network. If you are connecting to the device through an access point, make sure your computer is in infrastructure mode and it is associated with the access point. If you are connecting directly to the device without an access point, you should be in Ad-Hoc mode.

Note: If your wireless adapter includes an option for 802.11 Ad-Hoc, you must select it if you need to use the printer in Ad-Hoc mode. If it doesn’t include this option, select Ad-Hoc Computer-to-Computer, or whatever mode your adapter uses to communicate on a wireless network without an access point.

If you are using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption or other advanced security, such as WPA, on your wireless network, you need to temporarily disable the security on your PC in order to configure the print server. If you are using an access point with security enabled and it does not allow non-secure clients to communicate with other non-secure clients, then you will also need to temporarily change the wireless mode of your computer to Ad-Hoc (802.11) mode.

Note: If no computers on your network can be set to Ad-Hoc mode, you need to temporarily disable security on your access point. When you are done configuring the print server, you can re-enable security on your computer and change the wireless mode back if necessary. You can also use a wired connection to configure the print server.
