Wireless networking

Information you will need during wireless setup

To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to know the following:

•The name of your wireless network, which is also known as the SSID (Service Set Identifier)

•If encryption was used to secure your network

•The security key (either a WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase)

To find the WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase for the wireless network, see the documentation that came with the access point (wireless router), see the Web page associated with the access point, or consult your system support person.

If your access point is using WEP security, then the WEP key should be:

•Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters or

•Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters

If your access point is using WPA or WPA2 security, then the WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase should be:

•Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters or

•From 8 to 63 ASCII characters

Notes:

•Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.

•ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase are case‑sensitive.

If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key.

Note: If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then launch the wireless utility of the computer network adapter and look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security information for your network, then see the documentation that came with the access point, or contact your system support person.

Installing the printer on a wireless network

Before you begin, make sure that:

•Your wireless network is set up and working properly.

•The computer you are using is connected to the same wireless network where you want to set up the printer.

•You know the network name (SSID) and the WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase of the wireless network you want to connect to.

For Windows users

1Close all open software programs.

2Insert the Software and Documentation CD.

If the installation dialog does not appear after a minute, then launch the CD manually:

aClick , or click Start and then click Run.

bIn the Start Search or Run dialog, type D:\setup.exe, where D is the letter of your CD or DVD drive.

cPress Enter, or click OK.

3Click Install, and then follow the instructions on the computer screen.

Note: Select Wireless connection when prompted to select a connection type.

For Macintosh users

1Close all open applications.

2Insert the Software and Documentation CD.

If the installation dialog does not appear after a minute, then click the CD icon on the desktop.

3Double-click the software installer package, and then follow the instructions on the computer screen. Note: Select Wireless connection when prompted to select a connection type.

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 supports only networks that communicate through 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 access point.

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

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