Network Guide Introduction Introduction Introduction of This Manual This manual introduces the procedures for connecting smart devices and computers to the printer, building a network connection, and making network settings for the printer. To use the printer with Wi-Fi, you need a relay point such as an access point or a router. If you have a relay point, we recommend that you use it to connect the printer by Wi-Fi. If you do not have a relay point, you can also connect the printer directly to your smart device by Wi-Fi. This manual explains the procedures for making network settings on computers and smart devices. Follow the procedure that best suits your network setup.
Before you start reading this manual, you have to finish the initial setup for the printer. See the manual supplied with the printer for details. Also, if you want to make the printer's network settings from a computer, connect a computer and relay point (access point), and connect the computer to the network beforehand. Using the Printer from a Smart Device The [Connecting the Printer to a Smart Devices] section explains how to connect the printer to a smart device. If you want to connect a computer and a smart device to the printer at the same time, we recommend connecting the printer to the computer first.
This allows you to connect the smart device to the printer simply by selecting the same network (SSID) as the printer.
