Connecting to a Network with a Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a network standard for setting up a wireless network.
The WPS protocols enable you to set up devices in a secure wireless network without
having wireless networking experience. With a WPS-certified router, you can use tools
in the router and the printer to connect the printer to the network. To use the tools,
ensure that the wireless router is configured properly and is compliant with the WPS.
• Push Button Connection (PBC) is the easiest way to connect the printer to a wireless
network. It automatically connects when you push a button on the router and on the
printer. After the router and printer exchange information, the printer accepts the
security and configuration information from the router and connects to the network.
The PBC is a moderately secure way to connect the printer to the network. You do
not need to enter any information to make the network connection.
• PIN (Personal Identification Number) automatically connects the printer to a wireless
router using a common PIN. The printer generates and prints a PIN for use in the
setup process. When you enter the PIN into the router, the router broadcasts network
information using the PIN. When both devices recognize the PIN, the router provides
the security and configuration information to the printer, which uses it to connect to
the network.
