Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a method of configuring devices on a secure wireless network using fewer steps than in most other methods. The printer supports WPS and can be configured for a wireless access using WPS. In order to use WPS to configure the printer, the wireless router must support WPS.

Using a WPS-capable router

If your router supports WPS, you can add the printer to your wireless network using the method supported by your router. Refer to your router documentation for instructions.

Using Windows Vista

For information on using Windows Vista to set up the printer using WPS, refer to the documentation that came with the operating system.

Note: Lexmark recommends that you use the installation software on the CD that shipped with the printer to configure it for wireless access.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my WEP key or WPA passphrase?

To find the WEP key or WPA passphrase for the wireless network, view the security settings on the access point or wireless router. Most access points have a built-in Web server that can be accessed using a Web browser. If you do not know how to access the built-in Web server, or if you do not have administrator access to the wireless access point on your network, contact your system support person.

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, 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.

An SSID can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
