Set Up Ad Hoc

AdHoc is a type of on-demand device-to-device network. In adhoc mode, you can set up a wireless connection directly to another computer or printer without having to connect to a Wi-Fi access point or router. It allows you to load the jobs to a printer that has no Internet connection.

Note: The Ad Hoc connection feature is available starting from Einstein CS 2.0.
