Connecting to a Wireless LAN (Infrastructure) (Only When the Wireless LAN Module is Mounted)

Connect this machine to a network with a wireless LAN.

Note

Wireless LAN module (optional) is required.

Read the following cautions carefully before using this machine in a wireless LAN environment.

  • Wireless(Infrastructure) and Wireless(AP Mode) cannot be enabled at the same time.

  • If the machine is used in a wireless network environment, the machine does not enter Deep Sleep mode but enters Sleep mode.

  • Do not place any electric products that emit weak radio waves (such as microwaves or digital cordless telephones) close to the machine.

  • If there is metal, aluminum sash, or a reinforced concrete wall between the machine and wireless LAN access points, connections may be harder to be established.

  • The communication speed of a wireless LAN connection may be slower than that of a wired LAN or USB connection depending on the environment. If you want to print big data such as a photo, it is recommended to print with a wired LAN or USB connection.
