Connecting Without A Wireless Router

On page 14 of your paper user guide, it says to connect without using a wireless router that you can find details in the user guide. I cannot. I am talking about the "computer to computer" or an "ad hoc" wireless connection. Where is this information located, so that I can set up the new printer that I bought from your business?
