Select the wireless mode that the network uses (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc mode).

2

Enter the Network Name (SSID) of the network for which the printer will be used.

Note:

The SSID must be entered exactly as it is used on the network. SSID’s are 
case-sensitive, so if the SSID is entered incorrectly, the print server will not be able 
to communicate on the network, and the configuration process must be repeated. 

3

Select the appropriate channel for the network.

4

Select the appropriate authentication type for the network. The authentication type options 
are dependent on the wireless mode that was selected in step 1, and will determine the types 
of encryption that will be available.
