A network name, or "Service Set Identifier (SSID)," identifies a particular wireless

network. In order to operate on a network, a device must know the network's network

name.

For an in-depth explanation of network names, see the network names page.

Wireless profiles

A wireless profile is a group of network settings unique to a given wireless network. A

wireless device might have wireless profiles for several wireless networks. In order to

use the printer, the computer must be set to the profile for the printer's wireless network.

For example, a laptop that is used both at work and at home, might have one profile for

a wireless network at work and another profile for a wireless network at home.

The printer does not support multiple profiles.

For more information on wireless profiles, see the wireless profiles page.

Wireless security

Devices on a wireless network must share the same security settings.

For a description of the wireless security options available for the printer, see the wireless

security page.

Reduce interference in a wireless network

The following tips help reduce the chances for interference in a wireless network:

● Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing cabinets,

and other electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones,

as these objects can disrupt radio signals.

● Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building

structures as these objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.

● For an infrastructure network, position the WAP in a central location in line of sight

with the wireless devices on the network.

● Keep all wireless devices on the network within range of one another.

Printing

Computers on the network send print jobs directly to the printer, which prints them in the

order received.

The printer can accept print jobs sent simultaneously from four users.

For example, if five users each send a print job to the printer at the same time, the printer

accepts four of the print jobs and rejects the fifth. The user who sent the fifth print job

should wait a few minutes and then resend the print job.

Wireless network examples

There are three common configurations for wireless networks:

Ad hoc networks

An ad hoc network is a type of wireless network in which devices directly communicate

with each other rather than through a Wireless Access Point (WAP).
