What is Wi
‑
Fi Protected Setup?
Wi
‑
Fi Protected Setup
(WPS) is a simple and secure configuration that allows you to establish a wireless
home network and enable network security without requiring prior knowledge of Wi
‑
Fi technology. It is
no longer necessary to configure the network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphrase for network
devices.
Note:
WPS supports only networks that communicate through access points (wireless routers).
The printer supports the following methods in connecting to a wireless network:
•
Personal Identification Number
(PIN)—A PIN on the printer is entered into the wireless settings of the
access point.
•
Push Button Configuration
(PBC)—Buttons on both the printer and the access point are pushed within
a given period of time.
Look for any of these identifier marks to check if your access point is WPS certified:
You can find these WPS logos on the side, back, or top of your access point.
For more information on accessing the wireless settings and determining the WPS capability of your access
point, see the documentation that came with the access point or contact your system support person.
Configuring Wi
‑
Fi Protected Setup manually
Note:
Make sure your access point (wireless router) is Wi
‑
Fi Protected Setup (WPS) certified. For more
information, see the
User’s Guide
.
If your printer or device has not yet been configured for wireless connection and you want to configure
it using WPS, then push the WPS button on the wireless router. Wait for the printer control panel to display
a message to begin WPS configuration. There might be a short delay before the message appears. If nothing
