Using the WPS menu
If your machine and access point (or wireless router) support Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS), then
you can easily configure the wireless network settings through the WPS menu without the need
for a computer.
• If you want to use the wireless network using the infrastructure mode, make sure that
the network cable is disconnected from the machine. Using the WPS(PBC) or entering
the PIN from the computer to connect to the access point (or wireless router) varies
depending on the access point (or wireless router) you are using. Refer to the user's
guide of the access point (or wireless router) you are using.
• When using the WPS to set the wireless network, security settings may change. To
prevent this, lock the WPS option for the current wireless security settings. The option
name may differ depending on the access point (or wireless router) you are using.
Items to prepare
• Check if the access point (or wireless router) supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS).
• Check if your machine supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS).
• Networked computer (PIN mode only)
Choosing your type
There are two methods available to connect your machine to a wireless network.
• The Push Button Configuration (PBC) method allows you to connect your machine to a wireless
network by pressing both the WPS menu on the control panel of your machine and the WPS
(PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ WPS-enabled access point (or wireless router)
respectively.
• The Personal Identification Number (PIN) method helps you connect your machine to a
wireless network by entering the supplied PIN information on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™
WPS-enabled access point (or wireless router).
Connecting WPS
Factory default in your machine is PBC mode, which is recommended for a typical wireless
network environment.
If the machine is connected to a wired network, then you cannot connect to it using the
WPS feature. If a network cable is plugged into the network port, remove it from the
network port.
Connecting in PBC mode
1
Select (Menu) > Network > Wi-Fi > WPS on the control panel.
