Install the Wireless Network Adapter

Connecting to a Wireless Network

A wireless local area network (WLAN) provides the means to connect two or more devices in a LAN without a physical connection. The printer can connect to a wireless LAN that includes a wireless router or wireless access point. Before connecting the printer to a wireless network, the wireless router must be configured with a service set identifier (SSID) and any necessary credentials.

Note: Wireless networking is available only on printers with the optional Wireless Network Adapter installed.
