Otherwise, go to the next step. c. In the Data encryption list, select WEP. Note It is possible to create a network that does not use a WEP key.

For definitions of ASCII and HEX, see the Network Glossary in the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that came with your HP Allin-One. For information on using the onscreen HP Image Zone Help, see Use the onscreen Help. f. In the Confirm network key box, type the same WEP key you typed in the previous step. g. Write down the WEP key exactly as you typed it, including uppercase and lowercase letters. Note You must remember the exact uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters.
