Using the WPS button

If your machine and an access point (or wireless router) support Wi-Fi Protected

Setup™ (WPS), you can easily configure the wireless network settings by

pressing the

(WPS) button on the control panel without 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)

button 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 button 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.

Items to prepare

Check if the access point (or wireless router) supports Wi-Fi Protected
Setup™ (WPS).

Choosing your type

There are two methods available to connect your machine to a wireless network

using the

(WPS) button on the control panel.

The Push Button Configuration (PBC) method allows you to connect your

machine to a wireless network by pressing both the

(WPS) button on the

control panel of your machine and the WPS (PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected

Setup™ WPS-enabled access point (or wireless router) respectively.

The Personal Identification Number (PIN) method helps you connect your

machine to a wireless network by entering the supplied PIN information on a Wi-

Fi Protected Setup™ WPS-enabled access point (or wireless router).

Factory default in your machine is PBC mode, which is recommended for a

typical wireless network environment.

If your machine doesn’t have a display screen, you can enable or disable the
Wi-Fi Direct feature with the WPS button.

Press and hold the

(WPS) button on the control panel for about 10-

15 seconds. Wi-Fi Direct feature turns on.

Press and hold the

(WPS) button on the control panel for more than

15 seconds. Wi-Fi Direct feature turns off.

To get more information about the Wi-Fi Direct feature, read the "Setting
the Wi-Fi Direct for mobile printing" on page 133.
