8. Install the control board cover with the screws removed in step 3.
9. Install the rear cover with the screws removed in step 2.
10.Plug all the cables back into the machine, and turn the machine on.
11.Set the wireless network environment.
For information about configuring and using the printer on a
wireless network environment, refer to the Wireless network install
guide provided with the wireless network interface card. You can
also configure the network parameters on the control panel; see
the next column.
Configuring the machine’s wireless networkBefore starting you will need to know the network name(SSID) of your
wireless network and the network key if it is encrypted. This information was
set when the wireless router(access point) was installed. If you do not know
about your wireless environment, please ask the person who has set up
your network.
To configure wireless parameters, you can use both control panel and
SyncThru™ Web Service.
Using the control panel
1.Press Menu on the control panel.
2.Press the up/down arrow to highlight Network and press OK.
3.Press the up/down arrow to highlight Wireless and press OK.
4.Press the up/down arrow to highlight WLAN Settings and press OK.
5.Press the up/down arrow to select the setup method you want is
highlighted and press OK.
•Wizard: The wireless network interface card in your printer
searches for wireless networks in the area and shows the results.
•Custom: You can configure the wireless settings according to your
needs.
Wizard mode
1.The wireless network interface card on your machine searches for
wireless network in the area and shows the results.
2.Press the up/down arrow to select a network you want to use in
Search List and press OK. You can select a network using SSID.
3.When None appears in WLAN Security on the display, press OK to
save your selection. go to step 6.
If you see another messages, go to the next step.
4.According to the network you select, WLAN security encryption type
will be WEP or WPA.
•In case of WEP, Press the up/down to selcet Open System or
SharedKey.
-Open System: Authentication is not used, and Encryption
may or may not be used, depending on the need for data
security. Enter the WEP Key using number keypad after
selecting Open System.
-SharedKey: Authentication is used. A device that has a proper
WEP Key can access the network. Enter the WEP Key using
number keypad after selecting SharedKey.
•In case of WPA, Enter the WPA Key using number keypad. The
Key length should be between 8 to 63 characters long.
5.Press OK.
6.Press Stop/Clear to return to ready mode.
•SSID: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a
wireless network. Access points and wireless devices
attempting to connect to a specific wireless network must use
the same SSID. The SSID is case-sensitive.
•WEP : WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol
preventing unauthorized access to your wireless network.
WEP encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged on a
wireless network using a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption key.
•WPA : WPA authorizes and identifies users based on a secret
key that changes automatically at regular intervals. WPA also
uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) for data encryption.
Custom mode
1.Enter the SSID when Edit SSID appears on the top line of the display,
the name that identifies a wireless network. SSID is case-sensitive
so you need to enter it carefully. Press OK.
2.Select the type of wireless connections. Press the up/down arrow to
select the method of Operation Mode you want and press OK.
•Ad-hoc: Allows wireless devices to communicate directly with each
other in a peer-to-peer environment. Go to step 3.
•Infrastructure: Allows wireless devices to communicate with each
other through an access point. Go to step 4.
3.Press the up/down arrow to select the method of Channel you want
and press OK. If you select Auto, the wireless network interface card
on your machine will automatically adjust the channels.
4.Press the up/down arrow to select the method of WLAN Security you
want and press OK.
•None: This is used when the validation of a wireless device’s
identity and data encryption are not required for your network.
Open system is used for IEEE 802.11 authentication.
•Static WEP: This uses the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
algorithm suggested by IEEE 802.11 standard for security. Static
WEP security mode requires a proper WEP key for data
encryption, decryption, and IEEE 802.11 authentication. Press
the left/right arrow to select the setup method you want in
Authentication and press OK.
