Networking FAQ

What is Wi-Fi Protected Setup?

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple and secure configuration that allows you to establish a wireless home network and enable network security without requiring prior knowledge of Wi-Fi technology. It is no longer necessary to configure the network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphrase for network devices.

Note: WPS only supports networks that communicate through wireless access points (wireless routers).

The printer supports the following methods in connecting to a wireless network:

•Personal Identification Number (PIN)—A PIN on the printer is entered into the wireless settings of the wireless access point.

•Push Button Configuration (PBC)—Buttons on both the printer and the wireless access point are pushed within a given period of time.

Look for any of these identifier marks to check if your wireless access point is WPS certified:

You can find these WPS logos on the side, back, or top of your wireless access point.

For more information on accessing the wireless settings and determining the WPS capability of your wireless access point, see the documentation that came with the wireless access point or contact your system support person.
