easier to conﬁgure than the Net work Shared printing method.

NOTE: Each computer must use the TCP/IP protocol.

NOTE: The Dell machine needs an appropriate IP address conﬁguration.

NOTE: If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be conﬁgured on the computers and the Dell machine.

Network Shared Printing

In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type of computer is often called a "Server" or a "Print Server". Its job is to control all print jobs.

interface at the server.

Wireless Network Connection Examples

Identify your wireless network connection type: Infrastructure mode, Ad-Hoc mode, or Wi-Fi Direct™ mode.

• Connected to a Computer with a Wireless LAN Access Point Router in the Network (Infrastructure Mode) This type of network has a wireless LAN central access point/router at the heart of the network. The access point can also act as a bridge or a gateway to a wired network. When the Dell wireless machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.

• Connected to a Wireless Computer without a Wireless LAN Access Point Router in the Network (Ad-Hoc Mode) This type of network does not have a central wireless LAN access point/router. Each wireless client communicates directly with each other. When the Dell wireless machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs directly from the computer sending print data.

Additional Methods of Conﬁguring Your Dell Machine for a Wireless

Network

To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend using the Installer CD-ROM.

• Before Configuring Your Dell Machine for a Wireless Network

• Configure Your Machine for a Wireless Network Using the One Push Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) or AOSS™

• Configure Your Machine for a Wireless Network Using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) If your wireless LAN access point/router supports WPS, you can use the Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method to configure your wireless network settings.

• Configure Your Machine for a Wireless Network in Ad-Hoc Mode (For IEEE 802.11b/g/n)

• Configure Your Machine for a Wireless Network Using the Machine's Control Panel Setup Wizard

• Configure Your Machine for a Wireless Network When the SSID Is Not Broadcast

• Use Wi-Fi Direct™

Before Conﬁguring Your Dell Machine for a Wireless Network

Before attempting to configure a wireless network, confirm the following:

• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Dell machine as close to the wireless LAN access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two devices and interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents. Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics, you may want to consider selecting wired Ethernet for faster data transfer, or USB for the fastest throughput speed.

• Although the Dell machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection method can be used at a time. However, a wireless network connection and Wi-Fi Direct connection, or a wired network connection (supported models only) and Wi-Fi Direct connection can be used at the same time.

• Before configuring wireless settings, you must know your Network name (SSID) and Network Key.
