3. Using a Network-Connected Machine
Wireless network setup (Optional)
• If you want to add wireless feature to the machine, check the option lists
and contact the purchasing point to order (see "Available accessories" on
page 290). When you purchase a Wireless/NFC kit (Optional), install the
kit by following the steps described in the Wireless/NFC kit (Optional)
Installation Guide which is enclosed in the kit. After installing the
Wireless/NFC kit (Optional), set the machine to use this feature.
• Make sure your machine supports wireless networking. Wireless
networking may not be available depending on the model (see "Features
by model" on page 9).
Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up,
a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Password are
created for the network. Ask your network administrator about this information
before proceeding with the machine installation.

Introducing wireless set up methods
You can set wireless settings either from the machine or the computer. Choose
the setting method from the below table.
• Some wireless network installation types may not be available
depending on the model or country.
• It is strongly recommended that you set the password on Access Points.
If you do not set the password on Access Points, they might be exposed
to illegal access from unknown machines including PCs, smart phones
and printers. Refer to the Access Point user' guide for password settings.
