Using the WPS menu
If your machine and access point (or wireless router) support Wi-Fi Protected
Setup™ (WPS), then you can easily configure the wireless network settings
through the
WPS
menu without the need for a computer.
•
If you want to use the wireless network using the infrastructure mode,
make sure that the network cable is disconnected from the machine.
Using the
WPS(PBC)
or entering the PIN from the computer to connect
to the access point (or wireless router) varies depending on the access
point (or wireless router) you are using. Refer to the user's guide of the
access point (or wireless router) you are using.
•
When using the WPS to set the wireless network, security settings may
change. To prevent this, lock the WPS option for the current wireless
security settings. The option name may differ depending on the access
point (or wireless router) you are using.
