[. . . ] This status is displayed when the printer is switched on with its WiFi adapter, but cannot be accessed in WiFi mode (configuration not performed or incorrect, or Airport disabled). WiFi connection incorrect & configurable The printer is connected to a USB port. The WiFi connection is incorrect, but can be configured. Printing can be performed via the USB connection. This status is displayed when the printer is switched on with its WiFi adapter, but cannot be accessed in WiFi mode (configuration not performed or incorrect, or Airport disabled). WiFi connection operational & non-configurable The printer is not connected in USB mode, the WiFi connection is correctly established, but cannot be modified. Printing can be performed via the WiFi connection. This is the "normal" status of a usable WiFi connection. WiFi connection operational & configurable The printer is connected to a USB port. The WiFi connection is established and can be modified if required. Printing can be performed via either connection. This status is displayed when both connection modes are available. Installing & Getting Started 3 WIFI CONFIGURATION 3. 1 Wireless networks A wireless local area network (WLAN) is simply a collection of two or more computers, printers and other devices linked by radio waves. It uses high-frequency airwaves (radio) to communicate information from one point to another. To connect a computer or device to a wireless network, the computer or device must have a wireless network adapter. Your photo printer uses an external WIFI dongle that contains a wireless network adapter and radio. No cabling is necessary between networked devices to print, although a USB connection is temporarily necessary for setup and configuration of your photo printer. There are two primary types of wireless communication modes : Infrastructure (Access Point) In an infrastructure network, multiple devices (including your photo printer) communicate through a central access point. The access point acts as a central hub or gateway connecting wireless and, optionally, wired devices. An access point is usually an ADSL modem that has WiFi capabilities or it can be a device that you connect to your ADSL modem to share the internet access between several computers. Access Ad-Hoc (Peer-to-Peer) In an ad-hoc network, your photo printer communicates with your computer directly, rather than through an access point. Ad-hoc mode is usually limited to simple, small wireless network. Installing & Getting Started Your photo printer supports infrastructure and ad-hoc wireless communication modes. [. . . ] Following configuration, the WiFi icon in the printer's control panel should be green. The configuration settings of the WiFi connection can be displayed by choosing "Display configuration" in the Companion Photo control panel. Installing & Getting Started Installing & Getting Started 3. 5 WiFi Configuration : Manual Mode Using Use the manual mode if : You want to use your WIFI printer with a point to point network (ad Hoc mode) You are using WEP encryption capabilities on your wireless network (ad Hoc or infrastructure modes) 3. 5. 1 Configuration of your WIFI printer into a peer to peer network (ad Hoc) 3. 5. 1. 1 Creating a Manual Network in Mac OS Prior to configuring the WiFi connection manually, create an ad hoc network to which the printer can be connected. If you do not know how to set the security parameters, set the "Encryption type" setting to "None"; thus the security will be disabled. If your security settings are not correct, it could prevent you from using your photo printer. Installing & Getting Started Important: Prior to configuring the WiFi connection, ensure that the printer is connected via the USB lead and equipped with the WiFi adapter. Once the WIFI dongle is inserted on your printer, the two lights near the printer key are blinking during WIFI parameters settings. Display the Companion Photo control panel by selecting the printer in the menu bar or by long-clicking (or right-clicking) on the Companion Photo icon in the Dock. Then choose "Manual" from the options proposed. Installing & Getting Started Installing & Getting Started Select the WIFI network type between "infrastructure" and "ad hoc" modes, regarding your wireless network current settings. [. . . ]
