Set Up Wireless (802.1 1) Communication (Some Models Only) - HP OFFICEJET 6500A Guide De Démarrage

3. Set up wireless (802.1 1) communication (some
models only)
If the printer supports wireless (802.1 1)
communication, you can connect it wireless to
an existing wireless network.
Step 1: Connect the printer to your wireless network
1. On the printer's control panel, touch right arrow
then select Network.
2. Touch Wireless, touch Wireless Setup Wizard, and then
touch OK.
What is my network name and passkey?
While you are installing the software, you will be
prompted to enter the network name (also called an
"SSID") and a security passkey:
•
The network name is the name of your wireless network.
•
The security passkey prevents other people from
connecting to your wireless network without your
permission. Depending on the level of security required,
your wireless network might use either a WPA key or
WEP passphrase.
If you have not changed the network name or the security
passkey since setting up your wireless network, you can
sometimes find them on the back or side of the wireless
router.
Connecting without a wireless router
If you do not have a wireless router (such as a Linksys wireless router or Apple AirPort Base Station), you can still
connect the printer to your computer using a wireless connection (known as a "computer-to-computer" or an "ad hoc"
wireless connection).
