Installing a wireless network with cables

You can install a wireless network to connect to the machine with either a USB cable or a network cable. For most users, we recommend using a USB cable with the program provided in the supplied software CD.

The following are two ways to install a wireless network with cables.

•With a USB cable: You can simply set up a wireless network using the program in the supplied software CD. Only Windows and Macintosh operating system are supported (See "Setting a wireless network with USB cable" on page 3).

You can also install a wireless network in Printer Settings Utility with a USB cable after installing driver (Windows and Macintosh operating system are supported).

•With a network cable: You can set up a wireless network using the SyncThru™ Web Service program (See "Setting a wireless network with network cable" on page 8).

Setting a wireless network with WPS button on the control panel

If your machine and an access point (or wireless router) support Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS), you can easily configure the wireless network

settings by pressing the WPS ( ) button on the control panel.

Items to prepare

You need to ensure you have the following items ready to use:

•Check if the access point (or wireless router) supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS).

•Check if your machine supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS).

Choosing your network connection

There are two methods to connect your machine to a wireless network by

using the WPS ( ) button on the control panel.

The Push Button Configuration (PBC) method allows you to connect your machine to a wireless network by pressing both the WPS button on the control panel of your machine and the WPS (PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS)-enabled access point (or wireless router) respectively.

The Personal Identification Number (PIN) method helps you connect your machine to a wireless network by entering the supplied PIN information on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS)-enabled access point (or wireless router).

Factory default in your machine is PBC mode, which is recommended for a typical wireless network environment.

Access point (or wireless router) that supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup™) has the symbol shown below.

Changing WPS mode

Factory default in your machine is PBC mode. To change WPS mode, follow the steps below.

1.Press Menu on the control panel.

2.Press the left/right arrow until Network appears and press OK.

3.Press the left/right arrow until Wireless appears and press OK.

4.Press the left/right arrow until WPS Setting appears and press OK.

5.Press the left/right arrow until the WPS mode you want appears and press OK.

•PBC mode: Pressing both the WPS ( ) button on the control panel

of your machine and the WPS (PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS)-enabled access point (or wireless router) respectively, you can easily connect your machine to a wireless network.

•PIN mode: Entering the supplied PIN number on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS)-enabled access point (or wireless router), you can manually connect your machine to a wireless network.

6.Press Stop/Clear to return to ready mode.

Setting a wireless network in PBC mode

Connecting to a wireless network in PBC mode

To connect your machine to the wireless network in PBC mode, follow

the steps below. You also need to check the WPS ( ) button on the control panel and the messages on the display.

You can check the status of the wireless network connection (See "Understanding the Status LED" on page 8).

1.Press the WPS ( ) button for more than two seconds on the control panel.

2.Push WPS on AP within 02:00: The machine starts waiting for up to two minutes until you press the WPS (PBC) button on the access point (or wireless router).

3. : Press the WPS (PBC) button on the access point (or wireless router) within two minutes.

4.Connecting: The machine is connecting to the access point (or wireless router).

5.Connected: When the machine is successfully connected to the wireless network, the blue wireless LED light stays on.

•AP SSID: After completing the wireless network connection process, AP’s SSID information appears on the display.

If the machine fails to connect to the wireless network, the Connecting Failed and the Wait 2 minutes for Reconnecting messages appear in turn on the display. Then, the machine tries to re-connect to the wireless network.

Re-connecting to a wireless network in PBC mode

If you press the WPS ( ) button on the control panel when the

wireless function is off, the machine automatically tries to re-connect to the access point (or wireless router) with the previously used wireless connection settings and address.

1.Connecting: If you press the WPS ( ) button on the control panel

when the wireless function is off, the machine automatically tries to re-connect to the access point (or wireless router) with the previously used wireless connection settings and address.

2.Connected: When the machine is successfully connected to the wireless network, the blue wireless LED light stays on.

•AP SSID: After completing the wireless network connection process, AP’s SSID information appears on the display.

If there is no previously used access point (or wireless router), or the network settings have been changed, the Connecting Failed and the Wait 2 minutes for Reconnecting messages appear in turn on the display, and then the machine tries to re-connect to the wireless network.
