Purchase a wireless network adapter first before setting up the printer on a wireless network. For more
information, contact the place where you purchased the printer.
A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a name assigned to a wireless network. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and 802.1X-RADIUS are types of security used on a network.

Preparing to set up the printer on an Ethernet network

printer.
