Enter the WEP Key using number keypad after selecting SharedKey and then press OK. • WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK: You can select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK to authenticate the print server based on WPA Pre-Shared Key. This uses a shared secret key (generally called Pre Shared Key passphrase) which is manually configured on the access point and each of its clients. a. Press OK when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK appears on the bottom line of the display. b. Press the left/right arrow to select TKIP or AES in Encryption and press OK. If you select WPA2-PSK, press the left/right arrow to select AES or TKIP + AES in Encryption and press OK. c. Enter the WPA Key using number keypad and press OK. 5.
