English Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides security by encrypting data sent over radio waves from one wireless device to another wireless device. Devices on a WEPenabled network use WEP keys to encode data. To configure the printer to operate on a network that uses WEP, you must know the WEP key(s) that the network uses. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides security by doing the following: • Encrypting data sent over radio waves from one wireless device to another wireless device • Controlling access to network resources through authentication protocols To configure the printer to operate on a network that uses WPA, you must know the passphrase and authentication protocol that the network uses. 8

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides security by encrypting data sent over radio
waves from one wireless device to another wireless device. Devices on a WEP-
enabled network use WEP keys to encode data.
To configure the printer to operate on a network that uses WEP, you must know the
WEP key(s) that the network uses.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides security by doing the following:
•
Encrypting data sent over radio waves from one wireless device to another
wireless device
•
Controlling access to network resources through authentication protocols
To configure the printer to operate on a network that uses WPA, you must know the
passphrase and authentication protocol that the network uses.
