Wireless networking

Information you will need to set up the printer on a wireless network

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

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 passphrase)

To find the WPA/WPA2 passphrase for the wireless network, see the documentation that came with the access point, 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 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 passphrase are casesensitive.

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.
