Networking

Connecting the printer to a wireless network using Wi‑Fi Protected Setup
(WPS)
Before you begin, make sure that:
•
The access point (wireless router) is WPS‑certified or WPS‑compatible. For more information, see the
documentation that came with your access point.
•
A wireless network adapter is installed in your printer. For more information, see the instructions that came
with the adapter.
Using the Push Button method
1
From the control panel, navigate to:
Settings > Network/Ports > Wireless > Wi‑Fi Protected Setup > Start Push Button Method
2
Follow the instructions on the display.
Using the personal identification number (PIN) method

2
Copy the eight‑digit WPS PIN.
3
Open a Web browser, and then type the IP address of your access point in the address field.
Notes:
•
View the printer IP address on the printer home screen. The IP address appears as four sets of
numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
•
If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.

Access the WPS settings. For more information, see the documentation that came with your access

Changing port settings after installing an internal solutions port
Notes:
•
If the printer has a static IP address, then do not change the configuration.
•
If the computers are configured to use the network name instead of an IP address, then do not change
the configuration.
•
If you are adding a wireless internal solutions port (ISP) to a printer previously configured for an Ethernet
connection, then disconnect the printer from the Ethernet network.
For Windows users

Open the printers folder.
