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 - 31).
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 a character you have already modified.
Continue until you have entered the name you want to give to this SSID name,
then press ENTER to save. The name you entered will now represent this SSID
