Saving Images to a Connected Computer

Connect to your access point via Wi-Fi as follows.

Also refer to the access point user manual.

Confirming Access Point Compatibility

Confirm that the Wi-Fi router or base station conforms to the Wi-Fi

standards in “Wi-Fi” (= 196).

Connection methods vary depending on whether the access point

supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS, = 130) or not (= 132).

For non-WPS access points, check the following information.

●

Network name (SSID/ESSID)

The SSID or ESSID for the access point you use. Also called the

“access point name” or “network name”.

●

Network authentication / data encryption (encryption method /

encryption mode)

The method for encrypting data during wireless transmission.

Check which security setting is used: WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK

(TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES), WPA-PSK (TKIP), WEP (open system

authentication), or no security.

●

Password (encryption key / network key)

The key used when encrypting data during wireless transmission.

Also called the “encryption key” or “network key”.

●

Key index (transmit key)

The key set when WEP is used for network authentication / data

encryption. Use “1” as the setting.

●

If system administrator status is needed to adjust network
settings, contact the system administrator for details.

●

These settings are very important for network security.
Exercise adequate caution when changing these settings.
