Printing
Computers on the network send print jobs directly to the printer, which prints them
in the order received.
The printer can accept print jobs sent simultaneously from four users.
For example, if five users each send a print job to the printer at the same time, the
printer accepts four of the print jobs and rejects the fifth. The user who sent the fifth
print job should wait a few minutes and then resend the print job.
5.3.2 Wireless network examples
There are three common configurations for wireless networks:
• Ad hoc
• Infrastructure
• Mixed wired and wireless
Ad hoc networks
An ad hoc network, also called a computer-to-computer network, is a type of
wireless network in which devices directly communicate with each other rather than
through a Wireless Access Point (WAP) .
For example, a simple ad hoc wireless network might consist of a laptop and a printer
communicating directly with one another.
Ad hoc networks are typically small and simple. Performance on these types of
networks can degrade if more than six devices are on the network.
