Using the WPS button
If your machine and an access point (or wireless router) support Wi-Fi Protected
Setup™ (WPS), you can easily configure the wireless network settings by
pressing the (WPS) button on the control panel without a computer.
If you want to use the wireless network using the infrastructure mode, make
sure that the network cable is disconnected from the machine. Using the
WPS (PBC) button or entering the PIN from the computer to connect to the
access point (or wireless router) varies depending on the access point (or
wireless router) you are using. Refer to the user's guide of the access point
(or wireless router) you are using.
Items to prepare
• Check if the access point (or wireless router) supports Wi-Fi Protected
Setup™ (WPS).
• Check if your machine supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS).
• Networked computer (PIN mode only)
Choosing your type
There are two methods available to connect your machine to a wireless network
using the (WPS) button on the control panel.
The Push Button Configuration (PBC) method allows you to connect your
machine to a wireless network by pressing both the (WPS) button on the
control panel of your machine and the WPS (PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected
Setup™ (WPS)-enabled access point (or wireless router) respectively.
