A wireless router (or access point) connects the machine to a computer via radio waves. If the wireless router is equipped with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), configuring your network is automatic and easy. If the wireless router does not support with WPS, or if you want to specify authentication and encryption settings in detail, you need to manually set up the connection. Check that your computer is correctly connected to the network.

IMPORTANT
Use wireless LAN connection at your own discretion and at your own risk. If the machine is connected to an unsecured network, your personal information might be leaked to a third party because radio waves used in wireless communication can go anywhere nearby, even beyond walls. The wireless LAN security that is supported by the machine is listed below. For the wireless security compatibility of your wireless router, see the instruction manuals for your networking devices or contact your manufacturer. 128 (104)/64 (40) bit WEP WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES-CCMP) WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES-CCMP) Depending on the network device, the operation of the wireless LAN router differs. See the instruction manuals for your networking device for help. When <Prohibit Use of Weak Encryption> is set to <On> (<Encryption Settings>), the machine cannot be connected to the wireless LAN router without the security settings, or either WEP or AES-TKIP is specified.

NOTE
This machine does not come with a wireless router. Have the router ready. The wireless router must conform to IEEE 802.11b/g/n and be able to communication in 2.4 GHz bandwidth. For more information, see the instruction manuals for your networking devices or contact your manufacturer. If you want to reduce the power consumption If you set <Power Save Mode> to <On>, you can regularly set the machine to the power saving mode to match the signal that the wireless LAN router sends. <Wireless LAN> <Power Save Mode>
