Ad Hoc mode

In the Ad Hoc mode, the printer and computer wirelessly communicate directly with each other, without using an access point.

There is no difference between panel setting operations for Ad Hoc mode and the infrastructure mode on the printer. First, set the computer’s Ad Hoc settings (SSID), connect the printer by selecting SSID on the printer’s LCD panel. For information on setting up an Ad Hoc connection for the computer, see "Ad Hoc Settings on the Computer" in the Wi-Fi/Network Setup Guide. For information on setting up a Wi-Fi connection using the printer panel, see "Panel Setting Guidance for Wi-Fi connection" in the top menu of this Guide.
