What is Wi-Fi Protected Setup? Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple and secure configuration that allows you to establish a wireless home network and enable network security without requiring prior knowledge of Wi-Fi technology. It is no longer necessary to configure the network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphrase for network devices. Note: WPS supports only networks that communicate through access points (wireless routers). The printer supports the following methods in connecting to a wireless network: • Personal Identification Number (PIN)-A PIN on the printer is entered into the wireless settings of the access point. • Push Button Configuration (PBC)-Buttons on both the printer and the access point are pushed within a given period of time. Look for any of these identifier marks to check if your access point is WPS certified: You can find these WPS logos on the side, back, or top of your access point. For more information on accessing the wireless settings and determining the WPS capability of your access point, see the documentation that came with the access point or contact your system support person. Installing the printer on a wireless network Before you install the printer on a wireless network, make sure that: • Your wireless network is set up and working properly. • The computer you are using is connected to the same wireless network where you want to set up the printer.

What is Wi-Fi Protected Setup?
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
(WPS) is a simple and secure configuration that allows you to establish a wireless home network
and enable network security without requiring prior knowledge of Wi-Fi technology. It is no longer necessary to
configure the network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphrase for network devices.
Note:
WPS supports only networks that communicate through access points (wireless routers).
The printer supports the following methods in connecting to a wireless network:
•
Personal Identification Number
(PIN)—A PIN on the printer is entered into the wireless settings of the access point.
•
Push Button Configuration

of time.
Look for any of these identifier marks to check if your access point is WPS certified:
You can find these WPS logos on the side, back, or top of your access point.
For more information on accessing the wireless settings and determining the WPS capability of your access point, see
the documentation that came with the access point or contact your system support person.
