Connecting to a Wireless Network Manually
When connecting to a wireless network that does not include a WPS-compliant router, set up and
configure the printer manually. Before starting, you must get the setup and configuration information,
such as name and passphrase, from the router. After you collect the network information, you can set
up the printer from the printer control panel or from Xerox

easiest manual connection, use Xerox

the printer. For details, see your router documentation.
