If your wireless access point supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (PIN Method), you can configure the machine 
easily without a computer. The PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method is one of the connection 
methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. By inputting a PIN which is created by an Enrollee (your machine) 
to the Registrar (a device that manages the wireless LAN), you can setup the wireless network and security 
settings. See the user’s guide for your wireless LAN router / access point for instructions on how to access 
the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ mode.

Note

Routers or access points that support Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ have a symbol as shown below.
