Choosing the installation type

You can install a wireless network from the machine’s control panel
or the computer.

From the control panel

For most users, we recommend using the (WPS) button to
configure the wireless network settings.
• (WPS): If your machine and an access point (or wireless router)
support Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS), you can easily configure
the wireless network settings by pressing the (WPS) button on
the control panel (see "Using the WPS button" on page 28).
•Control panel: You can configure wireless parameters with the
control panel (see "Using the menu button" on page 32 ).
