Printer Configuration

Note: After pressing the Enter Button to move from Emulation to WLAN Type, the printer will pause and display “Waiting for Wi-Fi” while reading the current configuration from the Bluetooth interface module.

WLAN Type

Possible Values: Infrastructure*, Peer-to-Peer

WLAN Type Infrastructure

This feature specifies the type of wireless network the printer will be attached to. An Infrastructure network consists of nodes that connect to each other and/or a wired network through an Access Point. A Peer-to-Peer, or Ad-Hoc, network consists of nodes that connect directly to each other without the control of an access point.
