When connecting the machine to a wired or wireless local area network (LAN), you need to set an IP address unique to the selected network. Select "wired" or "wireless" depending on your communication environment and networkingdevices. For steps to connect the machine and set an IP address, see "Getting Started" ( 
ManualsIncludedwiththe
Machine(P.660) ). For speci4c  IP address settings, contact your Internet service provider or Network Administrator.
If the machine is connected to an unsecured network, your personal information might be leaked to a third
party.	 The machine cannot connect to both wired and wireless LANs at the same time.
	 The machine does not come with a LAN cable or router. Have them ready as necessary.
	 For more information about your networking devices, see the instruction manuals for the devices or contact
your manufacturer.
	C Before You Start
Follow these steps to connect the machine to a network.
  Checkyourcomputersettings.
	 Make sure that the computer is correctly connected to the network. For more
information, see the instruction manuals for the devices you are using, or contact the device manufacturers.
	 Make sure that the network settings have been completed on the computer. If the
network has not been set up properly, you will not be able to use the machine on the network, even if you perform the rest of the procedure below.
	 Depending  on  the  network,  you  may  need  to  change  settings  for  the
communication  method  (half-duplex/full-duplex)  or  the  Ethernet  type  (10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX)  ( 
Con4gurLng  Ethernet Settings(P. 373)).  For  more  information,
contact your Internet service provider or Network Administrator.

After you decide on wired or wireless LAN to connect the machine to the computer, select wired LAN or wireless LAN using the operation panel. For how to connect to and specify settings for a wireless LAN/wired LAN, see "GettingStarted" ( 
ManualsIncludedwiththeMachine(P.660) ). Note that if you change the setting from  to
 or vice versa, you will need to uninstall MF Drivers installed on your computer and then reinstall them. For more information, see "MF Driver Installation Guide."

Wireless routers (or access points) connect the machine to a computer via radio waves. If your wireless router is equipped with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS),  con4guring your network is automatic and easy. If your networking
devices do not support automatic  con4guration, or if you want to specify authentication and encryption settings in
detail, you need to manually set up the connection. Make sure that your computer is correctly connected to the network.

Riskofinformationleak
Use wireless LAN connection at your own discretion and at your own risk. If the machine is connected to an
unsecured network, your personal information might be leaked to a third party because radio waves used in
wireless communication can go anywhere nearby, even beyond walls.
WirelessLANsecurity
The wireless LAN security that is supported by the machine is listed below. For the wireless security compatibility of your wireless router, see the instruction manuals for your networking devices or contact your
manufacturer.
	 128 (104)/64 (40) bit WEP
	 WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES-CCMP)
	 WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES-CCMP)RequireddevicesforwirelessLANconnection
	 The machine does not come with a wireless router. Have the router ready as necessary.
	 The wireless router must conform to IEEE 802.11b/g/n and be able to communicate in 2.4 GHz frequency
band. For more information, see the instruction manuals for your networking devices or contact your manufacturer.
Setting Up Connection Using WPS
When using WPS, two modes are available: push button mode and PIN code mode.

								CPush Button Mode
Find the WPS mark shown below on the package of your wireless router. Also make sure that there is a WPS button on your networking device. 
SettingUpConnectionUsingWPSPushButtonMode(P.321)
	C PIN Code Mode
Some WPS routers do not support the push button mode. If WPS PIN code mode is mentioned on the package or in the instruction manuals of your networking device, set up the connection by entering the PIN code. 
SettingUp
ConnectionUsingWPSPINCodeMode(P.323)
If the wireless router is set to use WEP authentication, you may not be able to set up connection using WPS.
Manually Setting Up Connection
When manually setting up a wireless connection, you can either select a wireless router or manually enter the required information. Regardless of the method, make sure that you have the required setup information, including the SSID and network key ( 
CheckingtheSSIDandNetworkKey(P.333) ).
	C Selecting a Wireless Router
Select this setup option if you need to manually set up the connection but want to complete the setup as easily as possible. 
SettingUpConnectionbySelectingaWirelessRouter(P.326)
	C Manually Entering the Setup Information
If you want to specify security settings in detail, such as authentication and encryption settings, manually enter the SSID and network key to set up the connection.

Signalstrength
When more than one wireless router is available for connection, the machine connects to the device with the strongest signal. Signal strength is measured using RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication).
Reducingpowerconsumption
You can set the machine to enter  based on signals emitted from the wireless router.
