Lexmark S800 - Manual (Page 100)

Every device on the wireless network must use the same WPA passphrase. WPA security is an option only on
infrastructure networks with access points (wireless routers) and network cards that support WPA. Most newer
wireless network equipment also offer WPA2 security as an option.
Note: If your network uses WPA or WPA2 security, then select WPA Personal when you are prompted to select the
type of security your network uses.
Printing a network setup page
A network setup page lists the configuration settings of the printer, including the IP address and MAC address of the
printer.

Information you will need to set up the printer on a wireless
network
To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to know:
• The name of your wireless network, which is also known as the SSID (Service Set Identifier)
• If encryption was used to secure your network
• The security key (either a WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase)
To locate the network WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase, view your access point (wireless router) settings and
check the security information.
If your access point is using 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, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
If your access point is using WPA or WPA2 security, then the WPA passphrase should be:
• Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
• From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key.
Note: If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then launch the wireless utility
of the computer network adapter and look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security
information for your network, then see the documentation that came with the access point, or contact your system
support person.
