Advantages of Connecting Printer via Wired LAN

By connecting a printer via wired LAN, you can share the printer over a faster and more stable connection than Wi-Fi.

You will also have less chance of having problems such as being disconnected from the network while printing.

Make use of the advantages of a wired LAN connection to create a pleasant printing environment.

Advantages of Wired LAN Connection

  • Easy setup for connection

    For a wired LAN connection, there are the following two connection methods. Either method provides an easy setup with less complicated steps.

    • Connecting by assigning a static IP address
    • Connecting with DHCP (automatic IP address assignment by the router)

  • Less chance of having connection problems

    Since a connection is established directly with an Ethernet cable, you will have less chance of having problems such as being disconnected from the network due to the distance from the printer or congestion. It is also easier than Wi-Fi to find the cause when a problem occurs.

  • Faster printing speed for large-size data

    Since the connection speed is faster than Wi-Fi, the printing speed is stable even when printing large-size data (such as high-resolution images) or when sharing the printer with multiple computers.
