Configuring the wireless network parameters

After installing the wireless network card, you must configure the

appropriate network parameters to use your printer in a wireless

network. To do this, you can use both control panel and SyncThru Web

Service, an embedded web site of your printer. This section gives you

basic information on 802.11b/g network parameters which can be

configured from the control panel. See the supplied Network Printer

User’s Guide.

Configuring basic network settings

You can configure basic wireless settings, such as SSID, Operation

Mode, and channels. You can retrieve basic settings by selecting a

wireless network or manually configure them as you need.

1

Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the

display and press OK.

2

Press the Scroll buttons until Wireless appears and press OK.

3

Press OK when SSID Type appears.

4

Press the Scroll buttons to select the setup method you want and

press OK.
Search List: The wireless network interface card on your printer

searches for wireless networks in the area and shows the results.

Custom: You can configure the wireless settings according to

your needs.

5

If you selected Search List, press the Scroll buttons to select a

network and press OK.
If you selected Custom, set each network options:
Edit SSID: Enter the SSID, the name that identifies a wireless

network. SSID is case-sensitive so you need to enter it.

Operation Mode: Select the type of wireless connections.
In Ad-Hoc mode, wireless cards communicate directly each other.
In Infrastructure mode, network cards communicate with each

other through an access point, which allows both wireless and

cabled cards to send files to the printer. If you select Auto, the

printer selects the operation mode automatically, according to the

network cable’s connection each time it boots up.

Note

In Ad-Hoc mode, even if the network cable is connected,

your printer will use the wireless interface.

Channel: This option is available only in the Ad-Hoc mode. In

most cases, you will not need to change this setting. The printer

will scan all available channels for the specified network and will

adapt its channel to the one detected.

6

When you have finished, press Stop to return to Standby mode.
