Using the SES/WPS/AOSS control panel menu to configure your machine for a wireless network (Automatic Wireless mode)

If your wireless access point supports either SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (PBC¹) or AOSS™, you can configure the machine easily without a computer.

If your wireless access point supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (PIN Method) and you want to configure your machine using the PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method, see Using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup™.

Setting WLAN

Put your access point in the SecureEasySetup™ mode, Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ mode or AOSS™ mode, depending on what is supported by your access point. Please refer to the instruction manual that came with your access point.

If the LCD shows Connected, the machine has successfully connected to your router or access point. You can now use your machine in a wireless network.

If the LCD shows Incorrect Mode, session overlap is detected. The machine has detected more than one router or access point on your network with the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ mode or AOSS™ mode enabled. Make sure that only one router or access point has the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ mode or the AOSS™ mode enabled and try starting from 3 again.

If the LCD shows Connection NG (or Connection error), the machine has not successfully connected to your router or access point. Try starting from 3 again. If the same message is indicated again, reset the machine back to the default factory settings and try again. For resetting, see Restoring the network settings to factory default.

If Connection NG (or Connection error) is shown after Setting WLAN, this may be due to a session overlap detection error. The machine has detected more than one router or access point on your network with the SecureEasySetup™ mode, Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ mode or AOSS™ mode enabled. Make sure that only one router or access point has the SecureEasySetup™ mode, Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ mode or AOSS™ mode enabled and try starting from 3 again.
