Problem How to set a WEP/ WPA key Possible Cause and Measures • When using WEP The key length, key format, the key to use (out of 1 to 4), and the authentication method must match among the access point, the printer, and the computer. For access points that use automatically generated WEP keys, use the hexadecimal key format for the printer. If you do not know the access point WEP key, refer to documentation provided with the access point or contact its manufacturer. Example: Using 64 bit key length, when the string "canon" is entered, an access point generates the following codes. Key 1: C9 42 28 B8 AE Key 2: 87 C0 FB 05 6B Key 3: 9A 15 FB F6 F3 Key 4: 62 56 67 58 44 In order to communicate with such an access point, you must configure the printer to use the key generated by the access point by entering it in hexadecimal format. Normally, select Auto for the Authentication. Otherwise, select Open System or Shared Key according to the setting of the access point. When entering a WEP key in Network Key or Network Password on the Access Points screen, the key number is set to 1 and the Authentication is set to Auto. The key length and format are based upon value of the entered key. When using AirPort, confirm the settings in Wireless Security of AirPort Admin Utility. • Select 64 bit if 40 bit WEP is selected for the Key Length in the AirPort Base Station. • Select 1 for Key ID. Otherwise the computer will not be able to communicate with the printer via the access point. • When using WPA The authentication method, passphrase, and dynamic encryption type must match on the access point, the printer, and the computer. Enter the passphrase configured on the access point (a sequence of between 8 and 63 alphanumeric characters, or a 64-character hexadecimal number). If you do not know the passphrase, refer to the manual provided with the access point, or consult its manufacturer. Select either TKIP (Basic Encryption) or AES (Secure Encryption) for the dynamic encryption method. This printer supports WPA-PSK (WPA-Personal). WPA-Enterprise is not supported. 54

How to set a WEP/
WPA key
•
When using WEP
The key length, key format, the key to use (out of 1 to 4), and the
authentication method must match among the access point, the printer, and
the computer.
For access points that use automatically generated WEP keys, use the
hexadecimal key format for the printer.
If you do not know the access point WEP key, refer to documentation
provided with the access point or contact its manufacturer.
Example:
Using 64 bit key length, when the string “canon” is entered, an access
point generates the following codes.
Key 1: C9 42 28 B8 AE
Key 2: 87 C0 FB 05 6B
Key 3: 9A 15 FB F6 F3
Key 4: 62 56 67 58 44
In order to communicate with such an access point, you must configure the
printer to use the key generated by the access point by entering it in
hexadecimal format.
Normally, select
Auto
for the
Authentication
. Otherwise, select
Open
System
or
Shared Key
according to the setting of the access point.
When entering a
WEP key
in
Network Key
or
Network Password
on the
Access Points
screen, the key number is set to 1 and the
Authentication
is
set to
Auto
. The key length and format are based upon value of the entered
key.
When using AirPort, confirm the settings in
Wireless Security
of
AirPort Admin Utility
.
• Select
64 bit
if
40 bit WEP
is selected for the
Key Length
in the AirPort Base
Station.
•
Select 1 for
Key ID
. Otherwise the computer will not be able to communicate with the
printer via the access point.
•
When using WPA
The authentication method, passphrase, and dynamic encryption type must
match on the access point, the printer, and the computer.
Enter the passphrase configured on the access point (a sequence of
between 8 and 63 alphanumeric characters, or a 64-character hexadecimal
number). If you do not know the passphrase, refer to the manual provided
with the access point, or consult its manufacturer. Select either
TKIP (Basic
Encryption)
or
AES (Secure Encryption)
for the dynamic encryption
method.
This printer supports WPA-PSK (WPA-Personal). WPA-Enterprise is not supported.
