Using the SecureEasySetup™ software to configure your machine for a wireless network

The SecureEasySetup™ software allows you to configure the wireless network easier than configuring it manually. By pushing a button on the wireless router or access point, you can complete setup and secure the wireless network. Your router or access point must also support SecureEasySetup™. See the user’s guide for your wireless LAN router or access point for instructions on how to use the SecureEasySetup™ mode.

IMPORTANT

If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the machine, you must reset the network LAN settings before you can configure the wireless settings again. Press Menu, 7, 0 for Factory Reset, Reset and choose Yes to accept the change. The machine will restart automatically.

Note

Routers or access points that support SecureEasySetup™ have the SecureEasySetup™ symbol as shown below.

Plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet. Turn the power switch on.
