T
TCP/IP
Suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet. This protocol allows
different terminals to communicate with each other.
TKIP
An encryption method employed by WPA/WPA2. Uses encryption and changes cryptographic
keys automatically at fixed intervals.
U
USB
Serial interface designed to enable you to "hot-swap" devices, i.e., by plugging and
unplugging them without turning off the power.

WCN (Windows Connect Now)
Users running Windows Vista can easily create network configuration settings and transmit
them to the access point using the USB flash memory.
WEP
Transmission is encrypted using a WEP key you specified.
WEP Key
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.
Wi-Fi
International association that certifies interoperability of wireless LAN products based on the
IEEE 802.11 specification.
This machine is a Wi-Fi authorized product.
Wireless LAN
A network that, instead of being connected by physical wires, is connected by a wireless
technology, such as Wi-Fi.
WPA
Security framework announced by the Wi-Fi Alliance in October 2002. Enables cryptographic
keys to be changed automatically at fixed intervals, and access points to perform user
authentication.
Authentication
WPA defines the following authentication methods: PSK that can be used without an
authentication server, plus WPA-802.1x that do require an authentication server.
This machine supports WPA-PSK.
Passphrase
This encrypted key is used to perform WPA-PSK authentication.
The passphrase should be a string of 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters or a 64-digit
