Subject:
Enabling Wireless Encryption Protection (WEP) on the Stylus C80WN and

This bulletin was created to inform you of a procedure to guide you through configuring
WEP on the Stylus C80WN Print Server system.
Test Configuration:

Important notes before starting:
Note #1: Under OS X, the WEP key fields do not appear wide enough to accept the
entire length of the key code. The box truncates and accepts the entire code in the
background, however, it will not appear on the computer screen that anything is being
input by the computer user.
Note #2: The status lights on the printer server will turn off during the entry of the WEP
code in step 7 and remain off until the AirPort Base Station is re-linked by the
"UPDATE" function in step 10 and 11 below.
Requirements:
You will need to have the Macintosh computer and the Epson C80WN printer
configured and operational in Infrastructure mode.
AirPort Utility:
