Networking FAQ

What is Wi‑Fi Protected Setup?
Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple and secure configuration that allows you to establish a wireless home network
and enable network security without requiring prior knowledge of Wi‑Fi technology. It is no longer necessary to
configure the network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphrase for network devices.
Note: WPS supports only networks that communicate through access points (wireless routers).
The printer supports the following methods in connecting to a wireless network:
•
Personal Identification Number (PIN)—A PIN on the printer is entered into the wireless settings of the access point.
•
Push Button Configuration (PBC)—Buttons on both the printer and the access point are pushed within a given period
of time.
