No Security
It is not recommended to use no security at all on a home wireless network. Using no security means that anyone within
range of your wireless network can use your network resources—including Internet access— if your wireless network
is connected to the Internet. The range of your wireless network may extend far beyond the walls of your home, allowing
access to your network from the street or from your neighbors’ homes.
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 find the WPA/WPA2 passphrase for the wireless network, see the documentation that came with the access
point, see the Web page associated with the access point, or consult your system support person.
If your access point is using WEP security, then the WEP key should be:
• Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters
or
• Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters
If your access point is using WPA or WPA2 security, then the WPA/WPA2 passphrase should be:
• Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters
or
• From 8 to 63 ASCII characters
Notes:
• Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
• ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a WPA/WPA2
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.
