4 Configuring the Printer
To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to know:
• The name of your wireless network. This is also known as the Service Set Identifier
(SSID).
• If encryption was used to secure your network.
• The security key (either a WEP key or WPA passphrase) that allows other devices to
communicate on the network if encryption was used to secure your network.
• If the access point you will connect to doesn’t broadcast the SSID, you will need to know
the BSSID (MAC Address of the wireless interface) for the AP. Make sure that you have
the correct MAC address, your AP may have several.
If your wireless access point (wireless router) is using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security,
the WEP key should be exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–
F, a–f, and 0–9.
If your wireless access point (wireless router) is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2)
security, the WPA passphrase should be from 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a
WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not need a security key. Using a
wireless network with no security is not recommended because it can allow intruders to use
your network resources without your consent.
Note: Make sure you copy down the security key and SSID exactly, including any capital letters,
and store it in a safe place for future reference. If you do not know the SSID of the network that
your computer is connected to, launch the wireless utility of the computer network adapter
and look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security information for your
network, see the documentation that came with the wireless access point (wireless router), or
contact your system support person.
There are three ways to configure the printer to connect to a wireless network:
1. Configure the printer through the Operator Control Panel.
2. Configure the printer through the Windows Printer Driver Toolbox using USB.
3. Configure the printer through the printers Web Page using wired Ethernet.
