Using the WPS button

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 without a computer.

• If you want to use the wireless network using the infrastructure mode, make sure that the network cable is disconnected from the machine. Using the WPS (PBC) button or entering the PIN from the computer to connect to the access point (or wireless router) varies depending on the access point (or wireless router) you are using. Refer to the user's guide of the access point (or wireless router) you are using.

•When using the WPS button to set the wireless network, security settings may change. To prevent this, lock the WPS option for the current wireless security settings. The option name may differ depending on the access point (or wireless router) you are using.

Choosing your type

There are two methods available to connect your machine to a wireless network

using the (WPS) button on the control panel.

The Push Button Configuration (PBC) method allows you to connect your

machine to a wireless network by pressing both the (WPS) button on the control panel of your machine and the WPS (PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ WPS-enabled access point (or wireless router) respectively.

The Personal Identification Number (PIN) method helps you connect your machine to a wireless network by entering the supplied PIN information on a Wi- Fi Protected Setup™ WPS-enabled access point (or wireless router).

Factory default in your machine is PBC mode, which is recommended for a typical wireless network environment.

If your machine does not have a display screen, you can enable or disable the Wi-Fi Direct feature with the WPS button.

•Press and hold the (WPS) button on the control panel for about 10- 15 seconds. Wi-Fi Direct feature turns on.

•Press and hold the (WPS) button on the control panel for more than 15 seconds. Wi-Fi Direct feature turns off.
