STEP2
Installing the Driver & Software
Using the SecureEasySetup™ software to configure your machine for a
wireless network
Important
Make sure that you have finished the
instructions from Step 1 Setting Up the
Machine on page 4 through 15.
The SecureEasySetup™ software allows you to
configure the wireless network easier than
configuring it manually. By pushing a button on the
wireless router or access point, you can complete
setup and secure the wireless network. Your router or
access point must also support SecureEasySetup™.
See the user's guide for your wireless LAN router or
access point for instructions to configure your
machine for a wireless network. If your wireless router
or access point does not support SecureEasySetup™
go to page 43 for installation instructions.
Note
Routers or access points that support
SecureEasySetup™ have the
SecureEasySetup™ symbol as shown below.
Note
Make sure that the machine is turned on by
connecting the power cord.
