Connecting to a Wireless Network
A wireless local area network (WLAN) provides the means to connect 2 or more devices in a LAN
without a physical connection. The printer can connect to a wireless LAN that includes a wireless
router or wireless access point. Before connecting the printer to a wireless network, the wireless router
must be configured with a service set identifier (SSID) and any necessary credentials.
Note:
Wireless networking is available only on printers with the optional Wireless Network
Adapter installed.
