Configuring the printer wirelessly using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a method of configuring computers and printers on a secure wireless network. WPS is faster than manual configuration, and it reduces typing errors when new devices are added to a wireless network. The SSID and WPA passphrase are automatically detected and configured for you. The printer supports WPS and can be configured for wireless access using WPS. In order to use WPS to configure the printer, the wireless router must also support WPS.

If you want to use WPS to set up your printer, then insert the CD and follow the instructions on the computer screen.

Notes:

•To use WPS to configure the printer wirelessly, all of the devices on your wireless network must support WPS. If any device on your network does not support WPS, then you must type the SSID and security information when prompted.

•If you are using the PIN method to add your printer using WPS, make sure you type all eight digits when you are asked to enter your PIN.

Switching between USB and wireless connections (Windows only)

You can change the way you access your printer, depending on your needs. The following procedures assume that you have configured your printer for one type of connection and that the printer drivers are installed on the computer. See related topics on troubleshooting specific connection types if you encounter difficulties during configuration.
