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.
Note: The SSID is case-sensitive. If using the optional keyboard, enter the SSID you
need using the numeric keys and press Enter.
Select To
SSID Change the printer’s SSID.
To highlight the position to change, press or until the cursor is
below the character to change.
Press CHANGE until the character you need appears.
Press SET to save each position. The cursor moves to the next
position. Press SET when finished or press CANCEL to exit without
saving.
Note: Hold CHANGE to scroll quickly through the characters or press
CHANGE once to scroll one character at a time.
To clear the SSID, scroll to the end of the field, press and hold
and at the same time for a few seconds, then release. If
you are in the middle of the field, press and hold and at
the same time for a few seconds, then release, to clear any
characters to the right of the cursor.
Wireless Mode
The wireless mode sets how you communicate with your wireless network.
Select To
Adhoc
Use ad-hoc mode (you do not need an access point). This is also
called peer-to-peer (point-to-point) communications, so as long as the
devices are in range, they connect/communicate with each other.
Infrastructure
Use infrastructure mode (requires an access point to communicate).
Note: If communicating in a mixed environment where both ad-hoc and infrastructure
mode are used, make sure the SSIDs are unique in both modes.
