Connection options
Wireless connection
You must install the software on every computer from which
you want to print. For the first installation, we recommend using
a USB cable (not included) to simplify wireless setup. After the
printer is connected to the network, you will be prompted to
remove the cable.
If you’re using Mac OS X 10.6.x, 10.7.x, or 10.8.x, or you don’t
have a USB cable, you will need to use the control panel on
the printer to select wireless settings. Follow the instructions
on your computer screen during software installation; they will
explain how to connect the printer wirelessly this way.
Note: If you’re connecting to a DSL phone line, you must use a DSL
filter or you won’t be able to fax. Contact your DSL provider for the
necessary filter.
