Wireless network setup

Make sure your machine supports wireless networking. Wireless
networking may not be available depending on the model (see "Features
by models" on page 6).

If the IPv6 network seems to not be working, set all the network settings
to the factory defaults and try again.

Getting started

Understanding your network type

Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and the

machine at a time.

Wireless network name and network key

Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up,

a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Key are created

for the network. Ask your network administrator about this information before

proceeding with the machine installation.

Infrastructure mode

This is an environment generally used for homes and SOHOs
(Small Office/ Home Office). This mode uses an access point to
communicate with the wireless machine.

Ad hoc mode

This mode does not use an access point. The wireless
computer and wireless machine communicate directly.
