How are IP addresses assigned?
An IP address may be assigned automatically by the network using DHCP. Once the printer is set up on a computer, the
computer sends all print jobs across the network to the print er using this address.
If the IP address is not automatically assigned, you will be asked during wireless setu p to manually enter an address
and other network information after selecting your p rinter from the available list.
What is a key index?
An access point (wireless router) can be configured with as many as four WEP keys. Only one key is used on the network
at a time, however. The keys are numbered, and the number of a key is referred to as its key inde x. All devices on the
wireless network must be configured to use the same ke y index when multiple WEP keys are configured on the ac cess
point.
Select the same key index on your printer as you are using on your access poin t.

•The printer and the computer communicate on the same wirele ss network.
