Wireless Network Installation
To add the printer to your wireless network, you need to know the name (SSID)
of your wireless network. If it has security enabled, you also need to know the
WEP key or WPA passphrase. Write down your network and security information
in the space provided below:
■
Network name (SSID): _________________________________________
■
WEP key or WPA passphrase: ____________________________________
Note:
Your printer is compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g. If your router or access point
supports 802.11n (Wireless N), makes sure it is set to compatibility mode to allow
802.11b and 802.11g devices to connect to it.
Your printer supports the following wireless security modes: WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
If you don’t know your wireless network name (SSID), WEP key, or WPA passphrase,
contact the person who set up your wireless network before you begin.
If your WPA passphrase contains upper- or lowercase letters, be sure to note it
correctly.
