If you do not know the SSID of the network, use the following steps to obtain it, and then rerun the Wireless Setup Utility to set up the printer again.

1Enter the IP address of your wireless access point (wireless router) into your browser's Web address field. If you do not know the IP address of the wireless access point (wireless router):

a Click:

•In Windows Vista: Œ All Programs Œ Accessories Œ Command Prompt.

•In Windows XP and earlier: Start Œ Programs or All Programs Œ Accessories Œ Command Prompt.

bType ipconfig.

cPress Enter.

•The “Default Gateway” entry is typically the wireless access point (wireless router).

•The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.100. Your IP address might also start with the numbers 10 or 169. This is determined by your operating system or wireless network software.

2Enter your user name and password when prompted.

3Click OK.

4On the main page, click Wireless or other selection where settings are stored. The SSID will be displayed.

5Write down the SSID, security type, and the security keys if they are shown. Note: Make sure you copy them down exactly, including any capital letters.

6Store the SSID and the security keys in a safe place for future reference.

Check your security keys

A security key is like a password. All devices on the same network will share the same security key.

•If you are using the WPA type of security, make sure you entered the correct key. Security keys are case sensitive.

•If you are using the WEP type of security, you should enter the key as a series of digits (0–9) and letters (A–F).

Note: If you do not know this information, see the documentation that came with the wireless network, or contact the person who set up your wireless network.

Check your advanced security settings

•If you are using MAC address filtering to limit access to your wireless network, you must add the printer's MAC address to the list of addresses allowed to connect to your wireless access point (wireless router).

•If you set your wireless access point (wireless router) to issue a limited number of IP addresses, you must change this so that the printer can be added.

Note: If you do not know how to make these changes, see the documentation that came with the wireless network, or contact the person who set up your wireless network.
