Advanced wireless setup

Creating an ad hoc wireless network

You can set up an ad hoc network if you:

• Do not have an access point or wireless router

• Do not have a wireless network (but do have a wireless network adapter for your computer)

• Want to set up a standalone network between the printer and a computer with a wireless network adapter

Notes:

• Before you begin, make sure your wireless network adapter is properly attached to your computer and is working.

• The recommended way to set up your wireless network is to use an access point (wireless router). This network

setup is called infrastructure network.

• If your computer has MyWi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct, then you can create direct connections to your wireless printer. For

more information, see the documentation that came with your computer.

• The printer can communicate on only one wireless network at a time. Configuring the printer for an ad hoc

wireless network will keep it from working on any other wireless network, either ad hoc or infrastructure.

In Windows Vista or later

1 Click > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.

2 Click Set up a connection or network > Set up a wireless ad-hoc (computer-to-computer) network > Next.

3 Follow the instructions for setting up a wireless ad hoc network. As part of the setup:

a Create a network name or SSID for the network between the computer and your printer.

b Write down the name of your network. Make sure you copy it exactly, including any capital letters.

c Go to the Security Type list, select WPA2-Personal or WEP, and then create a WPA passphrase or WEP key.

WPA passphrases must be:

• From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard.

ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.

• Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
