Information you will need to set up the printer on a wireless network

To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to:

•Know the name of your wireless network. This is also known as the Service Set Identifier (SSID).

If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, launch the wireless utility of your computer’s network adapter and look for the network name, or consult the person who set up your wireless network.

•Know the password that was used to keep your wireless network secure. This password is also known as the security key, WEP key, or WPA key.

If your wireless access point (wireless router) is using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security, the WEP key should be:

–Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.

–Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuations, and symbols found on a keyboard.

If your wireless access point (wireless router) is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security, the WPA key should be:

–Up to 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.

–From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuations, and symbols found on a keyboard.

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