Notes on Wireless Connection

Make sure that the computer is connected to the access point (A) (or wireless network router) you want to connect your

printer to.

The conﬁ guration, router functions, setup procedures and security settings of the network device vary depending on your

system environment. For details, refer to the manual of your network device or contact its manufacturer.

Check if your device supports IEEE802.11n, 802.11g or 802.11b.

If your device is set to the "IEEE802.11 n only" mode, WEP or TKIP cannot be used as a security protocol. Change the

security protocol for your device to something other than WEP and TKIP or change the setting to something other than

"IEEE802.11 n only."

data such as your personal information to a third party.
