Wireless network setup (Optional)
•
If you want to add wireless feature to the machine, check the option lists
and contact the purchasing point to order (see "Available accessories" on
page 214). When you purchase a Wireless/NFC kit (Wireless LAN Option),
install the kit by following the steps described in the Wireless Kit
(Wireless LAN Option) Guide which is enclosed in the kit. After installing
the Wireless/NFC Kit (Wireless LAN Option), set the machine to use this
feature.
•
Make sure your machine supports wireless networking. Wireless
networking may not be available depending on the model (see "Features
by model" on page 8).
Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up,
a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Password are
created for the network. Ask your network administrator about this information
before proceeding with the machine installation.
