Overview

If your wireless access point supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (PIN Method), you can configure the machine
easily without a computer. The PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method is one of the connection
methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. By inputting a PIN which is created by an Enrollee (your machine)
to the Registrar (a device that manages the wireless LAN), you can setup the wireless network and security
settings. See the user's guide for your wireless LAN router / access point for instructions on how to access
the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ mode.
