    Setup™ (WPS), you can ea sily configure the wireless network settings by 
    pressing the   (WPS) button on the  control panel without a computer.
     
    • If you want to use the wireless network using the infrastructure mode, 
    make sure that the network cable is disconnected from the machine. 
    Using the  WPS (PBC)  button or entering the PIN from the computer to 
    connect to the access point (or wireless router) varies depending on the 
    access point (or wireless router) you ar e using. Refer to the user's guide 
    of the access point (or wireless router) you are using.
    • When using the WPS button to set the wireless network, security settings  may change. To prevent this, lock th e WPS option for the current wireless 
    security settings. The option name may differ depending on the access 
    point (or wireless router) you are using.

    • Networked computer  (PIN mode only)
    Choosing your type
    There are two methods available to conne ct your machine to a wireless network 
    using the   (WPS) button  on the control panel.
    The  Push Button Configuration (PBC)  method allows you to connect your 
    machine to a wireless network by pre ssing both the   (WPS) button on the 
    control panel of your machine and the  WPS (PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected 
    Setup™ WPS-enabled access point  (or wireless router) respectively.
    The  Personal Identification Number (PIN)  method helps you connect your 
    machine to a wireless network by entering  the supplied PIN information on a Wi-
    Fi Protected Setup™ WPS-enabled ac cess point (or wireless router).
    Factory default in your machine is  PBC mode, which is re commended for a 
    typical wireless network environment.
     
    If your machine does not have a disp lay screen, you can enable or disable 
    the Wi-Fi Direct feature with the  WPS button.
    • Press and hold the   (WPS) button on the control panel for about 10-  15 seconds. Wi-Fi Direct feature turns on.
    • Press and hold the   (WPS) button on the control panel for more than  15 seconds. Wi-Fi Direct feature turns off.
