Configuring the printer wirelessly using WPS (Windows only)

1Make sure your access point (wireless router) supports WPS.

2Insert the installation software CD and follow the instructions on the computer screen.

Notes:

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

•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.

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.
