Information you will need to set up the printer on a wireless
network
To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to know:
•
The name of your wireless network, which is also known as the SSID (Service Set Identifier)
•
If encryption was used to secure your network
•
The security key (either a WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase)
To locate the network WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase, view your access point (wireless router) settings and
check the security information.
If your access point is using WEP security, then the WEP key should be:
• Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
• Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
If your access point is using WPA or WPA2 security, then the WPA passphrase should be:
•
Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
• From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a keyboard.
ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
