Connecting the printer to a wireless network using Wi‑Fi Protected Setup
(WPS)
Before you begin, make sure that:
• The access point (wireless router) is WPS‑
certified
or WPS‑compatible. For more information, see the
documentation that came with your access point.
• A wireless network adapter is installed in your printer. For more information, see the instructions that came
with the adapter.

Changing the printer port settings after installing an internal solutions port
Notes:
• If the printer has a static IP address, then do not change the configuration.
• If the computers are configured to use the network name instead of an IP address, then do not change
the configuration.
• If you are adding a wireless internal solutions port (ISP) to a printer previously configured for an Ethernet
connection, then disconnect the printer from the Ethernet network.
