If your router supports WPS^® (Wi-Fi^® Protected Setup), it can be used to connect your printer wirelessly.

For details on WPS, refer to the manual of your router (access point).
 

Before you begin

 Before you connect your printer to the network, make sure the computer is connected to the router.

The configuration, functions, setup procedures and security settings of your router will vary depending on your system environment. For details, refer to your router's instruction manual.

• In an office setup, consult your network administrator.

• If you connect to a network that isn't protected with security measures, there is a risk of disclosing data such as your personal information to a third party.

• If an error message appears, or if you have trouble with the network connection, refer to the printed manual: Network Setup Troubleshooting.

• Place the machine and computer on the same network.

• ​An "Ad-hoc connection," which establishes a direct connection to the computer over a wireless connection without using an access point, isn't supported. Be sure to prepare an access point.
