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:

You can find these WPS logos on the side, back, or top of your access point.

For more information on accessing the wireless settings and determining the WPS capability of your access point, see the documentation that came with the access point or contact your system support person.

Where do I find my WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase?

•Contact your system support person.

–The person who set up your network usually keeps the WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase.

–If your wireless network was set up by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), then you might find the information in the documentation they provided.

•See the documentation that came with your access point (wireless router).

If your access point is using the default settings, then you can find the information in the documentation.

•View the security settings on the access point.

1Open a Web browser, and then type the IP address of the access point in the address field. Press Enter.

Notes:

–To obtain the IP address of the access point, see the documentation that came with it or contact your system support person.

–If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.

2Enter the user name and password for the access point when prompted.

Note: The WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase is not the same as the password for the access point. The password lets you access the access point settings. The WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase allows printers and computers to join your wireless network.

3Look for the WEP key or WPA/WPA2 preshared key/passphrase.

What is an SSID?

A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name that identifies a wireless network. All devices on the network must know the SSID of the wireless network, or they will not be able to communicate with each other. Usually, the wireless network broadcasts the SSID to allow wireless devices in the area to connect to it. Sometimes, the SSID is not broadcast for security reasons.

If the SSID of your wireless network is not broadcast, then it cannot be detected automatically and will not show up in the list of available wireless networks. You must enter the network information manually in this situation.
