(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.

Settings > Network/Ports > Wireless > Wi‑Fi Protected Setup > Start Push Button Method
