Wireless profiles
A wireless profile is a set of network settings unique to a given wireless network. A
wireless device might have wireless profiles for several wireless networks. In order
to use the printer, the computer must be set to the profile for the printer's wireless
network.
For example, a laptop that is used both at work and at home, might have one profile
for a wireless network at work and another profile for a wireless network at home.
The printer does not support multiple profiles.
For an in-depth explanation of wireless profiles, see the
wireless profiles page .
Wireless security
Devices on a wireless network must share the same security settings.
For a description of the wireless security options available for the printer, see the
wireless security page .
Printing
Computers on the network send print jobs directly to the printer, which prints them
in the order received.
The printer can accept print jobs sent simultaneously from four users.
For example, if five users each send a print job to the printer at the same time, the
printer accepts four of the print jobs and rejects the fifth. The user who sent the fifth
print job should wait a few minutes and then resend the print job.
4.2.2 Wireless network examples
There are three common configurations for wireless networks:
• Ad hoc
• Infrastructure
• Mixed wired and wireless
Ad hoc networks
An ad hoc network is a type of wireless network in which devices directly
communicate with each other rather than through a Wireless Access Point (WAP) .
For example, a simple ad hoc wireless network might consist of a laptop and a printer
communicating directly with one another.
