Signal Strength
This menu displays the strength of the wireless signal.
NOTE: This is a display value only and cannot be changed.
SSID Name
A 1 - 32 character, case sensitive string that identifies the group the printer
talks to.
NOTE: The SSID name may be edited in three parts (1-15), (16-30), and
(31-32).
For each part of the SSID name, press the MICRO UP or MICRO DOWN
keys to cycle through the values available for that character at the cursor
location. Press the SCROLL UP key to move to the next character to be
modified. Press the SCROLL DOWN key to go back to the name you want to
give to this SSID name, then press ENTER to save. The name you entered
will now represent this SSID name on the printer’s front panel. To exit this
menu without saving, press any key other than the ENTER key. The SSID
name will revert to the last saved value.
