The illustration below shows a wireless network that uses an access point.

If you don’t have an access point, you can still print from any desktop
computer or laptop that has a wireless adapter. In the illustration below, both
wireless-equipped computers communicate directly with the print server.

Before you can set up your EpsonNet 802.11b Wireless Print Server, you
need to decide how you will use it: either with an access point (in
infrastructure mode), or without an access point (in ad hoc mode, also called
ad hoc 802.11b, computer-to-computer, and peer-to-peer).
