Adding a remote network printer

A remote subnet is another network that is connected to your network. If the All-In-One is attached to a remote subnet instead of your network (local subnet), you must enter some information to help the software find the printer.

Make sure the All-In-One on the remote subnet is already configured or has been assigned an IP address. See Assigning an IP address.
