Networking 106 Configuring the printer wirelessly using WPS (Windows only) With Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS), it is easy to add computers or printers to your wireless network because the SSID and WPA passphrase are automatically detected and configured for you. 1 Make sure your access point (wireless router) supports WPS. 2 Insert the installation software CD and follow the instructions on the computer screen. Notes: • If you are using the PIN method to add your printer using WPS, then make sure you type all eight digits when you are asked to enter your PIN. • To use WPS to configure the printer wirelessly, all of the devices on your wireless network must support WPS. If any device on your network does not support WPS, then you must type the SSID and security information when prompted. Configuring Wi‑Fi Protected Setup manually Note: Make sure your access point (wireless router) is Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS) certified. For more information, see the User's Guide. If your printer or device has not yet been configured for wireless connection and you want to configure it using WPS, then push the WPS button on the wireless router. Wait for the printer control panel to display a message to begin WPS configuration. There might be a short delay before the message appears. If nothing happens after 30 seconds, then do one of the following: USE THE PUSH BUTTON CONFIGURATION (PBC) METHOD 1 From the printer control panel, navigate to: > Setup > OK > Network Setup > OK > Wireless 802.11b/g/n > OK > Network Connection Setup > OK > Wireless > OK > Wi‑Fi Protected Setup > OK > WPS PBC Mode > OK 2 Follow the instructions on the printer display. USE THE PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN) METHOD 1 From the printer control panel, navigate to: > Setup > OK > Network Setup > OK > Wireless 802.11b/g/n > OK > Network Connection Setup > OK > Wireless > OK > Wi‑Fi Protected Setup > OK > WPS PIN Mode > OK 2 Follow the instructions on the printer display. Switching between USB, Ethernet, and wireless connections (Windows only) You can change the way you access your printer, depending on your needs. The following procedures assume that you have configured your printer for one type of connection and that the printer drivers are installed on the computer. See related topics on troubleshooting specific connection types if you encounter difficulties during configuration. Note: The printer supports one active local connection (USB) and one active network connection (Ethernet or wireless) at a time. It is not possible to connect the printer to both Ethernet and wireless networks at the same time.
