See the section entitled "Firewall settings". note: The Toolbox software with the related Wi-Fi settings is Windows 2000/XP-compatible. Under Macintosh OS X 10. 2 or later, the Toolbox software can be run from the system desktop from the listing of available programs or by double clicking the Toolbox document in the folder where the printer software was installed. Enter the parameters of the network so that the printer can be recognised on the network, making sure that the Wi-Fi network on which the printer is to be installed is operative. The wireless settings required are: SSID (network name) of the network used, wireless channel (only Ad-Hoc mode) used by the computer; method of communication, WEP key used by the wireless network. note: The desktop computer or portable with wireless network connection support (only for Ad-Hoc mode) must be operational and correctly configured. · · Described below are the network parameter definition fields: Enable wireless: To enable or disable wireless communication; if disabled, the printer can be accessed in any case via the USB connection. Wireless communication mode: Makes it possible to select the type of connection for the Wi-Fi network, which may be: ­ Ad-Hoc (Peer-to-Peer) (pre-defined setting): The printer communicates directly with the computer without passing through an access point or basic station. Each wireless peripheral in an Ad-Hoc network must have a wireless network adapter. The adapter allows each peripheral to communicate with the other network peripherals. [. . . ] If connection is inhibited by a firewall, printer detection will not be possible. Some software firewalls (with the exception of the firewall provided by Microsoft in Windows XP) warn the user that the mDNS service is attempting to use the network (Wi-Fi, in this case), thus grant the possibility of authorising or not the connection, even permanently. Instead, the firewall of Windows XP does not cause inconvenience since the mDNS service automatically enables the firewall during installation, thus adding an entry in the list of exceptions. It is therefore not necessary to authorize the connection except in particular cases where the firewall's configuration has been changed. [. . . ]
