Connecting to a Wireless LAN
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), you can configure your network with a simple button push. If your networking devices do not support automatic configuration, or if you want to specify authentication and encryption settings in detail, you need to set up the connection manually. To make wireless settings for this machine, use the MF/LBP Network Setup Tool from your computer. Make sure that your computer is correctly connected to the network.
