Networking FAQ

What is Wi‑Fi Protected Setup?

Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple and secure configuration that allows you to establish a wireless home network
and enable network security without requiring prior knowle dge of Wi‑Fi technology. It is no longer necessary to
configure the network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphr ase for network devices.
Note: WPS supports only networks that communicate throug h access points (wireless routers).
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 po int.
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.
