Switching between USB, Ethernet, and wireless connections (Windows only)
You can change the way you access your printer, depending on your needs. The following procedures assume that you
have configured your printer for one type of connection and that the printer drivers are installed on the computer. See
related topics on troubleshooting specific connection types if you encounter difficulties during configuration.
Note: The printer supports one active local connection (USB) and one active network connection (Ethernet or
wireless) at a time. It is not possible to connect the printer to both Ethernet and wireless networks at the same time.
