If your wireless access point is using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security, then the WEP key should be:

Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.

or

Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII
characters in a WEP key are case-sensitive.

If your wireless access point is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security, then the WPA passphrase should be:

From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.

or

Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.

contact the person who set up your wireless network.

Wireless broadband boxes in Europe, the Middle East and Africa such as LiveBox, AliceBox, N9UF Box, FreeBox, or
Club Internet may require you to press an association/registration button when adding the printer to your wireless
network.

If you are using one of these boxes and need more information, see the documentation that came with your box,
or contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
