There are two methods available to connect your machine to a
wireless network using the (WPS) button on the control panel.
The Push Button Configuration (PBC) method allows you to
connect your machine to a wireless network by pressing both the
(WPS) button on the control panel of your machine and the WPS
(PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS)-enabled access
point (or wireless router) respectively.
The Personal Identification Number (PIN) method helps you
connect your machine to a wireless network by entering the
supplied PIN information on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS)-
enabled access point (or wireless router).
Factory default in your machine is PBC mode, which is
recommended for a typical wireless network environment.
To change the WPS mode , press (Menu) > Network >
Wireless > OK > WPS Setting.
