Using both USB Cable and Wireless LAN Connections
A computer communicates directly with the printer with a USB cable, while other computers are connected
over a wireless LAN (infrastructure mode).
You need to perform setup both on the computer to be used with USB connection and on the computers to be
used over wireless LAN.
To set up the printer in this configuration, see “First-time Setup for Use over Wireless LAN” on page 19 and
“Setting Up for Use with USB Connection” on page 39 after you finished setting the printer.
Using both USB Cable and Wired LAN Connections
A computer communicates directly with the printer with a USB cable, while other computers are connected
over wired LAN.
You need to perform setup both on the computer to be used with USB connection and on the computers to be
used over wired LAN.
To set up the printer in this configuration, see “First-time Setup for Use over Wired LAN” on page 31 and
“Setting Up for Use with USB Connection” on page 39 after you finished setting the printer.
A wireless LAN card or adapter must be installed in your computer to connect your computer to the
wireless LAN.
To connect over wired LAN, your computer needs to be connected to a hub or a similar network device.
To use this printer over wired and wireless LAN at the same time, the wired and wireless networks
need to be physically separate, and the printer needs to be assigned a different network address for
each network. Since this requires advanced network knowledge, we recommend that you do not use
the printer with wired and wireless LAN at the same time.
