If your wireless access point/router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (PIN Method), you can configure the
machine easily without a computer. The PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method is one of the
connection methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. By inputting a PIN which is created by an Enrollee (your
machine) to the Registrar (a device that manages the wireless LAN), you can setup the wireless network and
security settings. See the user’s guide for your wireless access point/router for instructions on how to access
the Wi-Fi Protected Setup mode.
