Precautions When Using Wireless LAN
• Precautions When Using Wireless LAN
•
Carefully read the following precautions before using the machine in a wireless LAN environment.
• In a wireless LAN environment, the machine enters sleep mode, but does not enter deep sleep
mode.
• Do not place any devices (especially microwave ovens or digital cordless telephones) that emit
weak electromagnetic waves near the machine.
• Install the machine near a wireless LAN access point or wireless device with no obstacles between
them (the distance should be within 30 m).
• Wireless connections may be difcult if there is any metal, aluminum framed windows, or reinforced
concrete walls between the machine and the wireless LAN access point.
• Wireless LAN connections may have slower transmission speeds, depending on the environment,
than wired LAN or USB connections. We recommend using a wired LAN or a USB connection to print
large amounts of data, such as photographs.
• The illustrations of the machine and the control panel in this manual use the MC363dnw as an
example. For how to use the actual control panel, see the user manual for the machine you
purchased.
Note
• The wireless LAN function may be disabled in the default factory settings. If this is the case, you need to rst set the wireless
LAN to [Enable] on the control panel.
• Preparing to Use a Wireless LAN Environment
•
Checking the Network Environment to Be Used on the Wireless LAN
You can communicate via a wireless LAN access point to connect to a wireless LAN environment (WPS
compatible).
Before you start, conrm that the wireless LAN access point you are using supports the following
environment.
Item Value
Standard IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n
• You cannot use wireless (infrastructure) and the wireless (AP mode) at the same time.

Connecting in Wireless LAN (AP Mode)
• Connecting in Wireless LAN (AP Mode)
•
The wireless LAN (AP mode) connects directly to a wireless terminal (computer, tablet, smartphone,
etc.) without using a wireless LAN access point.
Note
• You cannot enable wireless LAN (infrastructure) and
wireless LAN (AP mode) at the same time.
Conrm the method to set up
the wireless LAN (AP mode)
• If you enable wireless LAN (AP mode), the machine enters
sleep mode, but does not enter deep sleep mode.
• Do not place any devices (especially microwave ovens or
digital cordless telephones) that emit weak electromagnetic
waves near the machine.
• Wireless connections may be difcult if there is any metal,
aluminum framed windows, or reinforced concrete walls
between the machine and the wireless terminal (computer,
tablet, smartphone, etc.).
• Wireless LAN connections may have slower transmission
speeds than wired LAN or USB connections, depending on
the environment. We recommend using a wired LAN or a
USB connection to print large amounts of data, such as
photographs.
Conrm that the wireless terminal (computer,
tablet, smartphone, etc.) you are using supports
WPS-PBC (push button) and then select the setup
method.
If WPS-PBC is supported, refer to "Automatic
Setup (Push Button)". If you do not know whether
WPS is supported, refer to "Manual connections".
• Automatic Setup (Push Button)
If the wireless terminal (computer, tablet,
smartphone, etc.) supports WPS-PBC (push
button), then you can use the WPS button to
connect via wireless LAN (AP mode).
Preparing to use the wireless
LAN (AP mode)
The machine becomes a simple wireless access
point, and wireless terminals (computer, tablet,
smartphone, etc.) can connect directly to it.
Before you start, conrm that the wireless device
you are using supports the following environment.
Item Value

• Manual connections
If the wireless terminal (computer, tablet,
smartphone, etc.) does not support WPS-PBC
(push button), then you can input the machine's
SSID and password into the wireless terminal
(computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) to connect.
Automatic Setup (Push Button)
If the wireless terminal (computer, tablet,
smartphone, etc.) supports WPS-PBC (push
button), then you can use the WPS button to
connect via wireless (AP mode).
Follow the procedure below to connect.

Glossary
• Glossary
•
• SSID
The ID to identify the connection to a device on a network. Wireless connections are possible by
setting the SSID of the wireless LAN access point for the device to be connected to the machine.
The SSID is also called the network name, ESSID, or ESS-ID.
• Security (encryption method)
This security (encryption method) can be set to prevent illegal access to a network and interception
of transmitted data when using wireless LAN.
The security (encryption method) settings must be the same settings on the machine and on the
wireless LAN access point.
• WPS
This is a wireless LAN setting format standardized by the Wi-Fi Alliance, an industry organization for
wireless LAN.
There are two setup formats, a push button format and a PIN code format.
- Push button format: Wireless LAN can be easily set up by just pressing the WPS button on the
wireless LAN access point.
- PIN code format: Wireless LAN can be easily set up by registering an eight digit number
assigned to the machine.
• Infrastructure mode
This mode communicates via a wireless LAN access point.
• AP mode
This mode allows the machine and the wireless terminal to communicate directly, without using a
wireless LAN access point.
