Making Wi-Fi Settings from the Control Panel
You can make network settings from the printer's control panel in several ways. Choose the connection method
that matches the environment and conditions that you are using.
If you know the information for the wireless router such as SSID and password, you can make settings manually.
If the wireless router supports WPS, you can make settings by using push button setup.
After connecting the printer to the network, connect to the printer from the device that you want to use (computer,
smart device, tablet, and so on.)
