Connecting to Wireless LAN
07K4-0FR
Before connecting to wireless LAN, see "Attention (Connecting to a Wireless LAN)."
Two methods are provided for connecting to the wireless LAN or access point, connecting using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function or connecting manually.
NOTE
You cannot use wired LAN and wireless LAN at the same time
The machine's default connect method is "Wired LAN." When using a wireless LAN connection, it is necessary to switch the connection method to "Wireless LAN."
You can connect the machine to wireless LANs or wired LANs, but you cannot use both at the same time. When using a wireless LAN connection, do not connect a LAN cable to the machine. This may cause malfunctions.
Configuring with WPS Features
When your wireless LAN routers and/or access points support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) features, you can connect to the machine by using push button system or PIN code system.
NOTE
Checking WPS Functions
Check whether the box or body of the wireless LAN router or access points that you are using supports the WPS function.
As an example, a symbol such as shown below can be seen on the shipping box or machine.
This supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).
If you are still not sure, contact the wireless LAN router or access point manufacturer.
Other setting method
Refer to the following to set "WPS PIN code method" and/or security settings.
Push Button System
Press the WPS button on your wireless LAN routers and/or access points for connection.
PIN Code System
Enter the PIN code generated by the machine to wireless LAN routers and/or access points for connection.
Configuring Manually
If your wireless LAN routers and/or access points do not support WPS, enter the wireless LAN router and/or access point information to the machine for connection.
Select Access Point
From the list of access points searched by the machine, select a wireless LAN router or an access point to be connected and enter a network key for connection.
Manual Entry
Enter manually the SSID and/or security information (encryption type/authentication method or encryption method/network key) of wireless LAN routers and access points to be connected to the machine.
