Installing the printer on a wireless network with an
Access Point
Preparing items
Ensure you have next items ready.
• Access point
• Networked computer
• Printer Software CD-ROM that provided with your machine
• Wireless network printer (your machine)
• USB cable
Creating the infrastructure network in Windows
When items are ready, follow the next procedure:
1. Connect the USB cable provided with your machine.
2. Turn on your computer, access point and printer.
3. Put the provided Printer Software CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
4. The CD-ROM starts automatically and the welcome message shows
on the window. Select a language from the drop-down list and click
Next.
5. Select Wireless Setup and click Next.
6. The software searches the wireless network devices.
If the searching has failed, you may check if the USB cable is
connected between the computer and printer properly, and
follow the instruction on the window.
7. After searching, the window shows the wireless network devices.
Select the name (SSID) of access point you are using and click
Next.
When you set the wireless configuration manually, click
Advanced Setting.
• Network Name: Type the SSID of wireless computer, the
SSID is case-sensitive.
• Operation Mode: Select Infrastructure.
• Authentication: Select an authentication type.
Open System: Authentication is not used, and encryption
may or may not be used, depending on the need for data
security.
Shared Key: Authentication is used. A device that has a
proper WEP key which can access the network.
WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal: Select this option 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.
• Encryption: Select the encryption. (None, WEP64,
WEP128, TKIP, AES, TKIP AES)
• Network Key: Enter the encryption network key value.
• Confirm Network Key: Confirm the encryption network key
value.
• WEP Key Index: It is enabled when WEP is set for
Encryption after selecting Open System or Shared Key.
Enter the WEP key.
After setting in Advanced Setting, go to the step 9.
8. The wireless network security window appears. The window may
differ according to its security mode, WEP or WPA.
• In case of WEP
Select Open System or Shared Key for the authentication and enter
WEP security key. Click Next.
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.
• In case of WPA
Enter the WPA shared key and click Next.
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.
The wireless network security window does not appear when
the access point has no security setting.
9. The window shows the wireless network setting and check if settings
are right. Click Next.
