Making Wi-Fi Settings by Entering the SSID and Password

You can set up a Wi-Fi network by entering the information necessary to connect to a wireless router from the printer's control panel. To set up using this method, you need the SSID and password for a wireless router.

Note:

If you are using an wireless router with its default settings, the SSID and password are on the label. If you do not know the SSID and password, contact the person who set up the wireless router, or see the documentation provided with the wireless router.

  1. Select Wi-Fi Setup on the home screen.

    To select an item, use the buttons, and then press the OK button.

  2. Select Wi-Fi (Recommended).

  3. Press the OK button to proceed.

  4. Select Wi-Fi Setup Wizard.

  5. Select the SSID for the wireless router from printer's control panel, and then press the OK button.

    Note:
    • If the SSID you want to connect to is not displayed on the printer's control panel, press the button to update the list. If it is still not displayed, select Other SSIDs, and then enter the SSID directly.

    • If you do not know the SSID, check if it is written on the label of the wireless router. If you are using the wireless router with its default settings, use the SSID written on the label.

  6. Enter the password.

    Select whether or not you print a network connection report after finishing the settings.

    Note:
    • The password is case-sensitive.

    • If you do not know the network name (SSID) check if the information is written on the label of the wireless router. If you are using the wireless router with its default settings, use the SSID on the label. If you cannot find any information, see the documentation provided with the wireless router.

  7. When you have setup finished, and then press the OK button.
