Entering the SSID
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a unique identifier that must match for all nodes on a
sub network to communicate with each other. It consists of up to 32 characters (any
printable character, including spaces). If using the space character, it must be enclosed
in quotation marks.
The SSID is case-sensitive. If using the optional keyboard, enter the SSID you need
using the numeric keys and press Enter.

Roam Threshold
Sets the roaming threshold. Whenever the printer’s signal strength gets below this value,
the printer connects to another access point in range with better signal strength. This
prevents excessive roaming between access points if the printer is located near two
access points.
The range is 1-15. 1 gives no preference to the currently connected access point.
15 gives the maximum preference to the currently connected access point.
Select To
