5.3.3 Network locations

A network location is a set of network settings unique to a given wireless network.
Many wireless devices have configuration utilities that allows the device to have

network locations for several wireless networks. In order to use the printer, the

computer must be set to the network location for the printer's wireless network.
Use the Network control panel to create and edit network locations.

Note: Not all wireless devices support multiple network locations.

The printer only supports one network location.

Example

A person uses the same wireless-enabled laptop at work and at home. They have

one wireless network at work, and another wireless network at home.
Each network has a unique set of wireless settings. The person creates the following

network locations on the laptop:

• at_work: Contains the network settings for the office wireless network
• at_home: Contains the network settings for the home wireless network
