Using the SecureEasySetup™ software to configure your machine for a 

wireless network

The SecureEasySetup™ software allows you to 
configure the wireless network easier than 
configuring it manually. By pushing a button on the 
wireless router or access point, you can complete 
setup and secure the wireless network. Your router or 
access point must also support SecureEasySetup™. 
See the user’s guide for your wireless LAN router or 
access point for instructions to configure your 
machine for a wireless network. If your wireless router 
or access point does not support SecureEasySetup™ 
go to the next page for installation instructions.

 

Note

Routers or access points that support 
SecureEasySetup™ have the 
SecureEasySetup™ symbol as shown below.
