Preparing to Connect My Multifunction
To My Network
An "Ad-hoc connection," which establishes a direct connection to the computer
over a wireless connection without using an access point, is not supported.
A wireless router or access point is required in order for your Multifunction to be
used over a wireless LAN.
Notes on Network Connection
• The configuration, router functions, setup procedures and security settings of
the network device vary depending on your system environment. For details,
refer to your device's instruction manual or contact its manufacturer.
• In an office setup, consult your network administrator
• If you connect to a network that is not protected with security measures, there
is a risk of disclosing data such as your personal information to a third party.
• If an error message appears or if you have trouble with the network
connection, refer to the printed manual: Network Setup Troubleshooting.
• Place the machine and computer on the same network segment.
