Connect this machine to a network with a wireless LAN.
Read the following cautions carefully before using this machine in a wireless LAN environment.
The machine cannot connect to a wired LAN and wireless LAN at the same time. If using a wireless LAN, do not connect a LAN cable to this machine.
If the machine is used in a wireless network environment, the machine does not enter Deep Sleep mode but enters Sleep mode.
Do not place any electric products that emit weak radio waves (such as microwaves or digital cordless telephones) close to the machine.
If there is metal, aluminum sash, or a reinforced concrete wall between the machine and wireless LAN access points, connections may be harder to be established.
The communication speed of a wireless LAN connection may be slower than that of a wired LAN or USB connection depending on the environment. If you want to print big data such as a photo, it is recommended to print with a wired LAN or USB connection.
The machine can connect to a wireless LAN environment via wireless LAN access points (WPS supported).
Check whether your wireless LAN access point supports the following environment before using.

Check whether your wireless LAN access point supports WPS, and then select a setting method.
If your access point supports WPS, refer to "Connecting with WPS", and if you are not sure whether your access point supports WPS, refer to "Selecting a Wireless LAN Access Point from the Operator Panel to Connect".
If a wireless LAN access point supports WPS, you can connect to the wireless LAN with the WPS button.
Selecting a Wireless LAN Access Point from the Operator Panel to Connect
If a wireless access point does not support WPS, you can specify a wireless LAN access point you want to use from the wireless LAN access points that the printer detects to establish a connection.
Setting from the Operator Panel Manually to Connect
Set the wireless LAN access point information (the SSID, encryption method, and encryption key) manually to connect to the wireless LAN.
Checking That Connection is Established Correctly
This section describes the procedure for checking by using the printer whether a connection to a wireless LAN is properly established.
