Wireless Printers
Permitting mobile printing from handheld devices and machines like a PC desktop, smartphone or tablet, this kind of wireless printing allows documents, photography prints and other professional paperwork to be printed from a distance.
How Do Wi-Fi Printers Work?
A wireless network is needed for this kind of wireless printing, as a wireless router or access point sends and receives digital files in the form of signals. These signals can then be passed through various devices, where the file can be picked up on any other connected device. Wireless printing is a relatively new technological method to printing, but an excellent invention nonetheless!
When a range of devices are connected to your network, it is sometimes referred to as an ‘infrastructure’ or ‘wireless’ network; depending on whether or not your printer is connected through Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable.
