WPA/WPA2 Key)
How to set a WEP/WPA/WPA2 Key
Cannot Connect with an Access Point to Which a WEP/WPA/WPA2 Key Is Set (You Forgot
the WEP/WPA/WPA2 Key)
For information on how to set up the access point, refer to the manual provided with the access
point or contact its manufacturer. Make sure that the computer and the access point can
communicate with each other, then set up the machine to match the settings of the access point.
How to set a WEP/WPA/WPA2 Key
Refer to the manual provided with the access point or contact its manufacturer and check the
access point settings. Make sure that the computer and the access point can communicate with
each other, then set up the machine to match the settings of the access point.
When using WEP
The key length, key format, the key to use (out of 1 to 4), and the authentication method must
match among the access point, the printer, and the computer.
For access points that use automatically generated WEP keys, use the hexadecimal key
format for the machine.
Example:
Using 64 bit key length, when the string "canon" is entered, an access point generates the
following codes.
Key 1: C9 42 28 B8 AE
Key 2: 87 C0 FB 05 6B
Key 3: 9A 15 FB F6 F3
Key 4: 62 56 67 58 44
In order to communicate with such an access point, you must configure the machine to use
the key generated by the access point by entering it in hexadecimal format.
Normally, select Auto for the authentication method. Otherwise, select Open System or
Shared Key according to the setting of the access point.
When the WEP Details dialog box appears after clicking Set on the Search dialog box, follow
the on-screen instructions and set the key length, the key format, the key number, and the
authentication to enter a WEP key.
For details, see WEP Details dialog box
.
When using WPA or WPA2
The authentication method, passphrase, and dynamic encryption type must match on the
access point, the machine, and the computer.
Enter the passphrase configured on the access point (a sequence of between 8 and 63
alphanumeric characters, or a 64-character hexadecimal number).
Select either TKIP (Basic Encryption) or AES (Secure Encryption) for the dynamic encryption
method.
For details, see Changing the WPA or WPA2 Detailed Settings
.
Note
This machine supports WPA-PSK (WPA-Personal) and WPA2-PSK (WPA2-Personal).
WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise are not supported.
