Configuring your machine for a wireless network

There are three methods to configure your wireless network machine; by using the machine control panel 
(recommended), using the SecureEasySetup

TM

 software and using the automatic installer application on the 

CD-ROM.

Using the Setup Wizard from the control panel LAN menu for a wireless network

You can configure your print server by using the 

Setup Wizard

 function. This is located in the 

LAN

 menu on 

the machine’s control panel. See to the steps below for further information. 

■

Before starting, make sure if your access point (router) or your computer is powered on.

■

Make sure that the 

Network I/F

 is set to 

WLAN

. (See 

6.Network I/F

 on page 4-19) 

■

If you like to connect your machine to your computer in Ad-hoc mode, we recommend you prepare the 
wireless network with your computer before you start the wireless wizard.
