2. Press the left/right arrow to select a network you want to use in
Search List and press OK. You can select a network using SSID.
3. When WLAN Security None appears on the display, press OK to
save your selection. go to step 6.
If you see another messages, go to the next step.
4. According to the network you select, WLAN security encryption type
will be WEP or WPA.
• In case of WEP, Press the left/right arrow to selcet Open System or
SharedKey.
- Open System: Authentication is not used, and Encryption may or
may not be used, depending on the need for data security. Enter
the WEP Key using number keypad after selecting Open System.
- SharedKey: Authentication is used. A device that has a proper
WEP Key can access the network. Enter the WEP Key using
number keypad after selecting SharedKey.
• In case of WPA, Enter the WPA Key using number keypad. The Key
length should be between 8 to 63 characters long.
5. Press OK.
6. Press Stop/Clear to return to ready mode.
• SSID: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a
wireless network. Access points and wireless devices
attempting to connect to a specific wireless network must use
the same SSID. The SSID is case-sensitive.
• WEP : WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol
preventing unauthorized access to your wireless network.
WEP encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged on a
wireless network using a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption key.
• WPA : WPA authorizes and identifies users based on a secret
key that changes automatically at regular intervals. WPA also
uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) for data encryption.
Custom mode
1. Enter the SSID, the name that identifies a wireless network, when
Edit SSID appears on the top line of the display. SSID is case-
sensitive so you need to enter it carefully. Press OK.

you want and press OK.
• None: This is used when the validation of a wireless device's identity
and data encryption are not required for your network. Open system
is used for IEEE 802.11 authentication.
• Static WEP: This uses the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) algorithm

suggested by IEEE 802.11 standard for security. Static WEP security
mode requires a proper WEP key for data encryption, decryption,
and IEEE 802.11 authentication. Press the left/right arrow to select
the setup method you want in Authentication and press OK.
- Open System: Authentication is not used, and encryption may or
may not be used, depending on the need for data security. Enter the
WEP Key using number keypad after selecting Open System and
then press OK.
- SharedKey: Authentication is used. A device that has a proper
WEP key can access the network. Enter the WEP Key using number
keypad after selecting SharedKey and then press OK.
• WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK: You can select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK
to authenticate the print server based on WPA Pre-Shared Key. This
uses a shared secret key (generally called Pre Shared Key
passphrase) which is manually configured on the access point and
each of its clients.
a. Press OK when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK appears on the bottom
line of the display.
b. Press the left/right arrow to select TKIP or AES in Encryption and
press OK. If you select WPA2-PSK, press the left/right arrow to
select AES or TKIP + AES in Encryption and press OK.
c. Enter the WPA Key using number keypad and press OK.
5. When you have finished, press Stop/Clear to return to the ready
mode. If you do not know about your wireless environment, please
