Dell 5310n Mono Laser Printer - Manual (Page 138)

Configuring the Optional Wireless Card (Windows)
Configuration Overview
After the internal wireless print server has been installed in a printer, there are two ways the print server can be configured for use on a wireless network:
Configuring the print server using the Wireless Setup Utility, or by manual configuration.
Configuring the print server using the Wireless Setup Utility involves connecting the printer in which the internal wireless print server has been installed to a
computer by USB cable and launching the Drivers and Utilities CD. The Wireless Setup Utility then provides both a Wizard mode and an Advanced mode of
operation. The Wizard mode steps the user through the configuration process. The Advanced mode provides an interface through which the user can directly
enter and apply the appropriate wireless configuration settings for the wireless network that the printer will be used on.
Manual configuration is intended for advanced users and involves communicating with the print server over an Ad-Hoc wireless connection without the use of
the Wireless Setup Utility or a direct USB connection. Users who prefer to perform the manual configuration method require an in-depth understanding of the
wireless settings for the network. For instructions on manually configuring the internal wireless print server, see
Manual configuration .
Before configuring the wireless print server, make sure your printer has been set up correctly:
l The internal wireless print server option card has been installed correctly in the printer.
l All access panels and printer doors have been replaced or closed.
l The toner or print cartridges are installed correctly.
l Paper has been loaded into the printer.
l The printer is turned on and ready to be installed.

In Wizard mode, the Wireless Setup Utility gathers wireless information from the computer the printer is connected to. The results of this query determine the
process for selecting the correct SSID.

Tools folder on the Drivers and Utilities CD, and copy the SetupWizard folder to your desktop or hard disk.
