4.2.1 Wireless networking basics
The printer's built-in wireless communications feature allows you to connect the
printer directly to an 802.11g or 802.11b Wi-Fi wireless network without the aid of
an external print server.
To install the printer on a wireless network, follow the wireless installation
instructions.
Wi-Fi
802.11g and 802.11b
Wi-Fi is a wireless communications technology that allows you to connect
computers and other devices (such as printers) to each other and the Internet
without the use of wires. The printer is compatible with two types of Wi-Fi technology:
802.11g and 802.11b.
Both 802.11g and 802.11b operate by radio transmission in the 2.4 gigahertz per
second (GHz) frequency band. 802.11g devices communicate at a maximum speed
of 54 megabits per second (Mb/s). 802.11b devices communicate at a maximum
speed of 11 Mb/s.
In infrastructure mode, the printer operates in either 802.11g or 802.11b mode,
depending on the wireless network. In ad hoc mode, the printer defaults to 802.11b
mode.
802.11a
802.11a is an emerging wireless networking technology that operates in the 5 GHz
frequency band and offers communication speeds similar to those of 802.11g. The
printer cannot communicate with 802.11a devices over a wireless connection.
If you have an 802.11a wireless network, you must use an Ethernet cable to connect
the printer to the network's Wireless Access Point (WAP) in order to achieve a
processing speed comparable to that of the 802.11a network.
To connect the printer to an Ethernet network, follow the Ethernet network
installation instructions.
Adapters and access points
Adapters
While some devices, such as the printer, have built-in Wi-Fi capability, other devices
need an adapter to become Wi-Fi-enabled.
16
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
Examples of common adapters include:
PCMCIA card that plugs into the PCMCIA slot
in a laptop.
ISA or PCI card that can be used with a
desktop computer.
USB adapter that connects to the USB port on
a desktop or laptop computer.
Other types of adapters are available. All adapters come with configuration software
that allows you to configure the adapter for your wireless network.
Access points
Infrastructure networks are a common variety of wireless network. An infrastructure
network requires the use of a Wireless Access Point (WAP).
A WAP acts as a central hub for a wireless network or as a router connecting the
wireless network to another network (such as the Internet or an Ethernet network).
Devices on the network communicate through the WAP.
17
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
Reducing interference in a wireless network
The following tips will help reduce the chances for interference in a wireless network:
• Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing
cabinets, and other electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless
telephones, as these objects can disrupt radio signals.
• Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other
building structures as these objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal
strength.
• For an infrastructure network, position the WAP in a central location in line of
sight with the wireless devices on the network.
• Keep all wireless devices on the network within range of one another.
Wireless network examples
To see some examples of wireless networks, see the wireless network examples
page.
Communication modes
There are two types of communication modes for wireless devices:
• Infrastructure mode
• Ad hoc mode
Infrastructure mode
When the printer is set to the infrastructure communication mode, the printer
communicates with other devices on the network, whether the devices are wired or
wireless, through a Wireless Access Point (WAP). WAPs commonly act as
routers or gateways on small networks.
18
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
In infrastructure mode, the printer automatically detects whether the wireless
network uses 802.11b or 802.11g.
Ad hoc mode
When the printer is set to the ad hoc communication mode, the printer
communicates directly with other wireless devices on the network without the use
of a WAP.
The ad hoc communication mode defaults to 802.11b. Follow these steps to use
802.11g in ad hoc mode:
1. Open the printer's embedded Web server (EWS).
2. Click the Networking tab.
3. Under Connection, click Wireless (802.11).
4. Click the Advanced tab.
5. Under Compatibility, clear the In an ad hoc network use 802.11b behavior
check box.
6. Click Apply, and then close the EWS.
Wireless network settings
Devices (such as computers and printers) on a wireless network must share the
following settings:
Network name (SSID)
A network name, or Service Set Identifier (SSID), identifies a particular wireless
network. In order to operate on a network, a device must know the network's network
name.
19
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
For an in-depth explanation of network names, see the network names page.
Wireless profiles
A wireless profile is a set of network settings unique to a given wireless network. A
wireless device might have wireless profiles for several wireless networks. In order
to use the printer, the computer must be set to the profile for the printer's wireless
network.
For example, a laptop that is used both at work and at home, might have one profile
for a wireless network at work and another profile for a wireless network at home.
The printer does not support multiple profiles.
For an in-depth explanation of wireless profiles, see the wireless profiles page.
Wireless security
Devices on a wireless network must share the same security settings.
For a description of the wireless security options available for the printer, see the
wireless security page.
Printing
Computers on the network send print jobs directly to the printer, which prints them
in the order received.
The printer can accept print jobs sent simultaneously from four users.
For example, if five users each send a print job to the printer at the same time, the
printer accepts four of the print jobs and rejects the fifth. The user who sent the fifth
print job should wait a few minutes and then resend the print job.
4.2.2 Wireless network examples
There are three common configurations for wireless networks:
• Ad hoc
• Infrastructure
• Mixed wired and wireless
Ad hoc networks
An ad hoc network is a type of wireless network in which devices directly
communicate with each other rather than through a Wireless Access Point (WAP).
For example, a simple ad hoc wireless network might consist of a laptop and a printer
communicating directly with one another.
20
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
Ad hoc networks are typically small and simple. Performance on these types of
networks can degrade if more than six devices are on the network.
Infrastructure networks
On an infrastructure network, devices, such as computers and printers,
communicate through a Wireless Access Point (WAP). WAPs commonly act as
routers or gateways on small networks.
For example, a simple infrastructure wireless network might consist of a laptop and
a printer communicating through a WAP.
Mixed wired and wireless networks
Wireless devices often exist on a largely wired network.
In this case, a WAP is connected to the main network by an Ethernet cable plugged
into the WAP's WAN port. The WAP acts as the go-between for the wired devices
and the wireless devices. The wired devices communicate with the WAP over the
Ethernet cable, while the wireless devices communicate with the WAP over radio
waves.
21
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
For example, a mixed wired and wireless network may consist of the following:
• Several desktop computers
• A WAP connected to an Ethernet network
• A printer connected wirelessly to the WAP
In order to use the printer, a desktop PC sends a print job over the Ethernet cable
to the WAP. The WAP then wirelessly transmits the print job to the printer.
4.2.3 Wireless profiles
A wireless profile is a set of network settings unique to a given wireless network.
Many wireless devices have configuration utilities that allows the device to have
wireless profiles for several wireless networks. In order to use the printer, the
computer must be set to the profile for the printer's wireless network.
Note: Not all wireless devices support multiple profiles.
The printer only supports one wireless profile.
Example
A person uses the same wireless-enabled laptop at work and at home. They have
one wireless network at work, and another wireless network at home.
Each network has a unique set of wireless settings. The person creates the following
wireless profiles on the laptop:
• at_work: Contains the network settings for the office wireless network
• at_home: Contains the network settings for the home wireless network
22
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
Wireless network locationProfile

• Network name: office
• Communication mode: infrastructure
• Security: WPA
• Authentication: WPA/PSK
Home
at_home
• Network name: home
• Communication mode: ad hoc
• Security: WEP
• Authentication: Open System
When the laptop is being used at work, the person must set the wireless profile to
at_work in order to connect to the office network.
Conversely, the laptop must be set to the at_home wireless profile when the person
is at home and wants to connect the laptop to the home network.
4.2.4 Network name (SSID)
A network name, or “Service Set Identifier (SSID)”, identifies a particular wireless
network. In order to operate on a network, a device must know the network's network
name.
A wireless network only has one network name.
A given location, such as an office, may have several wireless networks, each with
a different network name. Wireless devices use network names to identify
overlapping wireless networks.
23
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
Example
The printer is in an office with two wireless infrastructure networks. Each network
has a Wireless Access Point (WAP).
Note: In this example, both wireless networks have the same security settings.
1. Network name equals “network_1”
2. Network name equals “network_2”
The network name for one wireless network is network_1. The network name for
the other wireless network is network_2.
The printer receives signals from both networks, network_1 and network_2.
The printer is configured for network_1
The printer's network name (SSID) setting has been configured for network_1. The
printer can only communicate to network_1. In other words, the printer can only
accept print jobs from network_1.
The printer communicates with network_1.
The laptop is configured for network_2
The laptop's network name (SSID) settings have been configured for network_2.
The laptop is unable to communicate with the printer and cannot send print jobs to
the printer.
24
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
The laptop cannot communicate with the printer.
The laptop is reconfigured for network_1
The laptop's network name (SSID) settings have been reconfigured for network_1.
The laptop is able to communicate with the printer and is ready to send print jobs to
network_1.
The laptop and the printer can communicate.
4.2.5 Wireless security
The printer can be configured for several wireless security options depending on
the type of wireless network of which the printer is part.
Infrastructure networks
• WPA
25
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
• WEP
• Open system
Ad hoc networks (wireless direct-connect)
• WEP

Wireless security basics
For more information about wireless security, see the authentication and encryption
page.
4.2.6 Authentication and encryption
Wireless security is a complex and developing topic. This page gives a brief
overview of the basics involved in making a wireless network secure.
In the simplest terms, wireless security involves two strategies: authentication and
encryption.
A wireless security method, such as WEP or WPA, involves varying levels of
authentication and encryption.
Authentication
Definition
Authentication verifies the identity of a user or device before granting access to a
network, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access network
resources.
In order to be authenticated and allowed to use a network, a device must supply a
known password to other devices on the network. If the device cannot supply the
correct password, then it will not be able to use other devices on the network.
Types of authentication
The printer supports three types of authentication. Each type of authentication has
its benefits and limitations.
Authentication type DescriptionBenefitsLimitations
Devices on a
Open System
network identify
themselves with
the network
name (SSID)
only.
Least complicated
strategy.
Provides little
protection against
unauthorized users.
26
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
Authentication type DescriptionBenefitsLimitations
Shared Key
WPA/PSK
Devices use a
shared master
secret to identify
themselves as
authorized
members of the
network.
Devices use a
single pre-shared
key (PSK) to
identify
themselves as
authorized
members of the
network and to
generate an
encryption key.
Convenient to use in
conjunction with
WEP, since a WEP
key can serve as the
shared
authentication key.
The pre-shared key
and the encryption
keys are not
identical.
Allows smaller
networks to use
WPA without the
need for an
authorization
server.
All devices must
have the key.
The shared key
does not change
automatically.
All devices must
have the key.
Encryption
Definition
Encryption involves using a password to encode data sent over a wireless network
in order to make the data unintelligible to eavesdroppers. Only devices that know
the password can decode the data.
Types of encryption
The printer supports four types of encryption. Each type of encryption has its
benefits and limitations.
Encryption type DescriptionBenefitsLimitations
Open System
Devices on a
network do not
encrypt data.

27
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
Encryption type DescriptionBenefitsLimitations
All devices must

AES
TKIP
Devices on a
network share a
password, called a
WEP key to encode
and decode data.
Advanced
Encryption Standard
(AES) is a U.S.
government
sponsored
encryption method
that uses a complex
algorithm called
Rijndael.
AES uses
encryption keys to
encode data. AES
automatically
changes the
encryption keys
after a certain time
interval, thus making
the wireless network
less vulnerable to
eavesdropping.
Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) uses
encryption keys to
encode data. TKIP
automatically
changes the
encryption keys
after a certain time
interval, thus making

security than both
AES or TKIP.
All devices must
have the key.
All devices must

28
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
4.2.7 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
Only devices that share the same WPA settings as the printer will be able to
communicate with the printer.
For example, if the printer's network uses WPA, only devices that have the same
WPA settings as the printer will be able to use the printer.
WPA provides better security than WEP.
WPA is a network feature
WPA is an optional wireless network feature. Not all wireless networks use WPA.
Configure the printer for WPA only if the printer's network uses WPA. The printer's
WPA settings must match the network's settings.
If the printer's network does not use WPA, then do not configure the printer to use
WPA.
If you do not know if your network uses WPA, consult the configuration utility for
your computer's NIC card or your network's Wireless Access Point (WAP).
Encryption
WPA uses encryption keys to encode data.
The printer supports two types of WPA encryption: TKIP and AES.
For more information about TKIP and AES, see the authentication and encryption
page.
Configuring the printer to use WPA
Follow these steps to configure the printer to use WPA:
1. Open the printer's embedded Web server (EWS).
2. Click the Networking tab.
3. Under Connections, click Wireless (802.11).
4. On the Wireless Setup tab, click the Start Wizard button, and then follow the
onscreen instructions
5. After configuring the printer, close the EWS.
29
HP Deskjet 6800 series printer
4.2.8 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.
WEP can also provide security through authentication. For more information about
authentication and encryption, see the authentication and encryption page.
WEP encodes the data sent across the network making the data unintelligible to
eavesdroppers. Only devices that share the same WEP settings as the printer will
be able to communicate with the printer.
For example, if the printer's network uses WEP, only devices that have the same
WEP settings as the printer will be able to use the printer.
WEP is a network feature
WEP is an optional wireless network feature. Not all wireless networks use WEP.
Configure the printer for WEP only if the printer's network uses WEP. The printer's
WEP settings must match the network's settings. If your network has WEP, you
must use an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network in order to install
the printer software.
If the printer's network does not use WEP, then do not configure the printer to use
WEP.
If you do not know if your network uses WEP, consult the configuration utility for
your computer's NIC card or your network's Wireless Access Point (WAP).
WEP keys
Devices on a WEP-enabled network use WEP keys to encode data.
WEP keys can also be used for authentication.
After creating a set of WEP keys, record and store the keys in a secure location.
You may not be able to retrieve the WEP keys if you lose them.
Caution: If you lose the WEP keys, you will not be able to add a new device
to your network without reconfiguring the WEP settings for every device on
the network.
A WEP-enabled network might use multiple WEP keys. Each WEP key is assigned
a key number (such as Key 2). Each device on the network must recognize all the
network's WEP keys and the key number assigned to each WEP key.
Configuring the printer to use WEP
Follow these steps to configure the printer to use WEP:
