An IP address is usually assigned by an access point or a DHCP server of the router
automatically.
• IPv4/IPv6
They are internetwork-layer protocol used on the internet. IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses and IPv6
uses 128-bit addresses.
K
• Key Format
Select either ASCII or Hex as the Password (WEP) key format. The character that can be used
for the WEP key differs depending on the selected key formats.
• ASCII
Specify with a 5 or 13-character string that can include alphanumeric and underscore "_"
characters. It is case-sensitive.
• Hex
Specify a 10-digit or 26-digit string that can contain hexadecimal (0 to 9, A to F, and a to f).
• Key Length
Length of the WEP key. Select either 64 bits or 128 bits. Longer key length allows you to set a
more complex WEP key.
L
• Link Quality
The status of connection between the access point and the printer excluding noise (interference)
is indicated with a value from 0 to 100%.
• LPR
A platform-independent printing protocol used in TCP/IP networks. It is not supported
bidirectional communication.
M
• MAC Address (AirPort ID)
Also known as the physical address. A unique and permanent hardware identifier that is
assigned to network devices by its manufacturer. MAC addresses are 48 bits long and are
written as a hexadecimal number separated by colons, i.e., 11:22:33:44:55:66.
N
• Network (SSID)
Unique label for wireless LAN. It is often represented such as a network name or a access point
name.
SSID distinguishes one wireless LAN from another to prevent interference.
The printer and all clients on a wireless LAN must use the same SSID in order to communicate
with each other. The SSID can be up to 32 characters long, and is made up of alphanumeric
characters. The SSID may also be referred to by its network name.
P
• Password (WEP)/Password (WEP Key)
An encryption method employed by IEEE 802.11. Shared security key used to encrypt and
decrypt data sent over wireless networks. This printer supports key length of 64 bits or 128 bits,
key format of ASCII code or Hexadecimal, and key number of 1 to 4.
• Performance
Indicates the status on whether the printer can be used.
