WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol
preventing unauthorized access to your wireless network.
WEP encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged
on a wireless network using a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP
encryption key.

Before entering the IP address for the machine, you must know
the computer’s network configuration information.
If the
computer’s network configuration is set to DHCP, the wireless
network setting should also be DHCP. Likewise, if the
computer’s network configuration is set to Static, the wireless
network setting should also be Static.
If your computer is set to DHCP and you want to use Static
wireless network setting, you must contact the network
administrator to get the static IP address.
•
For the DHCP method
If the IP address assignment method is DHCP, check if
DHCP is shown in the
Wireless Network Setting Confirm
window. However, if it shows Static, click
Change TCP/IP
to change the assignment method to
Receive IP address
automatically (DHCP)
.
•
For the Static method
If the IP address assignment method is Static, check if
Static is shown in the
Wireless Network Setting Confirm
window. However, if it shows DHCP, click
Change TCP/IP
to enter the IP address and other network configuration
values for the machine.
Example)
If computer’s network information is as below:
-
IP address: 169.254.133.42
-
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Machine’s network information should be as below:
-
IP address: 169.254.133. 43 (Use computer’s IP
address, with changed last three digits.)
-
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet
mask.)
-
Gateway: 169.254.133.1 (Change the last three digits
from IP address of your machine to 1.)

SETTING A WIRELESS NETWORK WITH
NETWORK CABLE
Your machine is a network compatible machine. To enable your machine to
work with your network you will need to perform some configuration
procedures.
Refer to your network administrator, or the person that set up your
wireless network, for information about your network configuration.
Preparing items
Ensure you have next items ready.
•
Access point
•
Network-connected computer
•
Software CD that provided with your machine
•
The machine installed with a wireless network interface
•
Network cable
Setting IP address
Firstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and
managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically
assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located
on the network.
In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a
static IP and is often required in corporate Intranets for security reasons.
•
DHCP IP assignment
: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a
few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the
machine. Then, print the
Network Configuration Report
as explained
above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the
assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the
report
(See "How to print a network configuration report" on page 37).
•
Static IP assignment
: Use SetIP program to change the IP address
