Every device on the wireless network must use the same WPA passphrase. WPA security is an option only on infrastructure networks with access points (wireless routers) and network cards that support WPA. Most newer wireless network equipment also offer WPA2 security as an option.

Information you will need to set up the printer on a wireless
network
To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to know:
•
The name of your wireless network, which is also known as the
SSID
(Service Set Identifier)
•
If encryption was used to secure your network
•
The security key (either a WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase)
To locate the network WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase, view your access point (wireless router) settings and
check the security information.
If your access point is using WEP security, then the WEP key should be:
•
Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
•
Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
If your access point is using WPA or WPA2 security, then the WPA passphrase should be:
•
Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
•
From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key.
Note:
If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then 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, then see the documentation that came with the access point, or contact your system
support person.
