ct a wireless parent station 
(wireless router, etc.) acting as the access point and a device that transmits images (smartphone, camera, 
computer, etc.). Any wireless parent stations such as wireless routers are called "access points" in this 
guide.
 OSome cameras can be used as an access point. Refer to the user guide sup\
plied with your camera. OSelect wireless LAN standards compliant devices listed on  p.  52 for your access point.  Refer to the user 
guide supplied with your access point for information on how to check.
 O Check if your wireless LAN is WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) compatible. If you are not sure whether or not 
it is WPS compatible, also check the following items.
 -Network name (SSID/ESSID) -Network authentication/data encryption (encryption method/encryption mode)* -Encryption key (network key)* Supported security settings are [No security], [WEP (open system authentication) (64-bit)], [WEP (open system 
authentication) (128-bit), [WPA-PSK (TKIP)], [WPA-PSK (AES)], [WPA2-PSK (TKIP)], and [WPA2-PSK (AES)].
 O If your network is managed by the system administrator, request details of network settings from 
the administrator.
Connecting the Printer to the Wireless LAN
You can connect the printer to the wireless LAN and print from your smart\
phone, camera, or computer via the 
access point.
This section describes how to connect a printer to a wireless LAN using a camera as the access point; 
however, the same procedure applies when you are printing from a smartphone or \
computer.
Items to Prepare
