7Set the encryption key of the printer via the following command:

!U1 SETVAR “wlan.encryption_keyN” “encryptionkey

where the N is 1, 2, 3, or 4 depending on which index is being used, and encryptionkey is 10 or 26 hexadecimal (0 to 9, A to F) characters depending on whether 40-bit or 128-bit encryption is enabled. The key must match your wireless network’s WEP encryption key.

8Set the authentication type of the printer via the following command:

! U1 SETVAR “wlan.auth_type” “type

where type is open or shared depending on whether your wireless network is using Open System or Shared Key authentication. The authentication type must match your wireless network’s authentication type setting.

9If your network uses DHCP, issue the following command to enable DHCP supported on the printer:

! U1 SETVAR “ip.dhcp.enable” “on”

If your network does not use DHCP, you will need to issue the following commands to disable DHCP and provide the proper IP settings:

!U1 SETVAR “ip.dhcp.enable” “off”

!U1 SETVAR “ip.netmask” “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

!U1 SETVAR “ip.gateway” “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

!U1 SETVAR “ip.addr” “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” are valid IP addresses. If you are unsure what values to enter, please contact your network administrator for assistance.
