Using Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure mode is the printer’s default communication mode, as most Wi-Fi networks function in this
mode. This enables you to connect the device for communication through a single access point, i.e., your
wireless router.
Note: Ad-Hoc mode, also known as “peer-to-peer” mode, is also supported. Ad-Hoc networks do not
require a centralized access point. Instead, devices on the wireless network connect directly to each
other. For instance, if you set up the two laptops in Ad-Hoc wireless mode, they would connect directly to
each other, without the need for a centralized access point. This would be useful for a temporary
connection, e.g., you’re away from the office/home and need to connect two devices via a Wi-Fi
connection to exchange files or other information when there is no other Wi-Fi network to connect both
devices to.
To configure Infrastructure mode, proceed as follows:
1. Press [User Tools].
2. Scroll [
] to [Network Settings], and press [OK].
3. Scroll [
] to [Wi-Fi Configuration], and press [OK].
4. Scroll [
] to [Setup Wizard], and press [OK].
5. Select [Infrastructure], and press [Next]. Display reads, Searching Scan List…
