The range of your wireless network may extend far beyond the walls of your home, allowing access to your network from the street or from your neighbors’ homes. WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is the most basic and the weakest type of wireless security. WEP security relies on a series of characters called the WEP key. Every device on the wireless network must use the same WEP key. WEP security can be used on both ad hoc and infrastructure networks. A valid WEP key has: • Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9. or • Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a keyboard. WPA/WPA2 WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) offer stronger wireless network security than WEP. WPA and WPA2 are similar types of security. WPA2 uses a more complex encryption method and is more secure than WPA. Both WPA and WPA2 use a series of characters, called the WPA pre-shared key or passphrase, to protect wireless networks from unauthorized access. Networking 60 A valid WPA passphrase has: • Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9. or • From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive. Every device on the wireless network must use the same WPA passphrase. WPA security is an option only on infrastructure networks with access points (wireless routers) and network cards that support WPA. Most newer wireless network equipment also offer WPA2 security as an option. Note: If your network uses WPA or WPA2 security, then select WPA Personal when you are prompted to select the type of security your network uses. Printing a network setup page A network setup page lists the configuration settings of the printer, including the IP address and MAC address of the printer. 1 Load plain paper. 2 From the printer control panel, press . 3 Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Network Setup, and then press . 4 Press to select Print Setup Page. The network setup page prints. Information you will need to set up the printer on a wireless network To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to know: • The name of your wireless network, which is also known as the SSID (Service Set Identifier) • If encryption was used to secure your network • The security key (either a WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase) To locate the network WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase, view your access point (wireless router) settings and check the security information. If your access point is using WEP security, then the WEP key should be: • Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9. or • Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a keyboard. If your access point is using WPA or WPA2 security, then the WPA passphrase should be: • Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9. or • From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive. Networking 61 If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key. Note: If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then launch the wireless utility of the computer network adapter and look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security information for your network, then see the documentation that came with the access point, or contact your system support person. Installing the printer on a wireless network Before you install the printer on a wireless network, make sure that: • Your wireless network is set up and working properly. • The computer you are using is connected to the same wireless network where you want to set up the printer. For Windows users 1 Close all open software programs. 2 Insert the installation software CD. If the Welcome screen does not appear after a minute, then launch the CD manually: a Click , or click Start and then click Run. b In the Start Search or Run box, type D:\setup.exe, where Dis the letter of your CD or DVD drive. c Press Enter, or click OK. 3 Follow the instructions on the Welcome screen to set up the printer. For Macintosh users 1 Close all open applications. 2 Download the latest installer from the printer Web site. 3 Launch the printer installation software, and then follow the instructions on the computer screen. Installing the printer on other computers Once the printer is set up on the wireless network, it can be accessed wirelessly by any other computer on the network. However, you will need to install the printer driver on every computer that will access it. You do not need to configure the printer again, although you will need to run the setup software on each comp...
