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).

Choosing your type

There are two methods available to connect your machine to a wireless network

using the

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.
