Configuring your machine for a wireless network

There are three methods to configure your wireless network machine; by using the machine control panel
(recommended), using the SecureEasySetup

TM

software and using the automatic installer application on the

CD-ROM.

Using the Setup Wizard from the control panel LAN menu for a wireless network

You can configure your print server by using the Setup Wizard function. This is located in the LAN menu on
the machine’s control panel. See to the steps below for further information.

Before starting, make sure if your access point (router) or your computer is powered on.

Make sure that the

Network I/F is set to WLAN. (See 6.Network I/F on page 4-19)

If you like to connect your machine to your computer in Ad-hoc mode, we recommend you prepare the
wireless network with your computer before you start the wireless wizard.
