Windows System Requirements 7
Before you can set up your EPSON Stylus C84WN, you need to decide how you
will use it: either with an access point (in infrastructure mode), or without an access
point (in ad hoc mode, also called ad hoc 802.11b, computer-to-computer, and
peer-to-peer).

meets the following requirements:
■ A Microsoft

works in ad hoc mode.
