Changes to Networks

Support for Using Color Network ScanGear 2 via Sub Line

Previously you could only use "Color Network ScanGear 2" on the main line, but now you can use it on a sub line also.

Support for WPA3 Security Type via Wireless LAN Connection

The wireless LAN function of this machine can now support WPA3-SAE (AES-CCMP) and WPA3-EAP (AES-CCMP).


Depending on when you purchased "Connection Kit for Bluetooth LE" installed on the machine, you may not be able to use WPA-3-SAE/WPA3-EAP.


Security settings If the wireless connection is set up by selecting a wireless router, WPA3-SAE encryption method is set to <Auto> (AES-CCMP or TKIP). If you want to select <AES-CCMP> for WPA3-SAE encryption, set up the connection in <Enter Manually>. When Setting Up the Wireless LAN Connection by Specifying Detailed Settings If the security standard for your wireless LAN router is WPA3-EAP, the encryption method is set to AES-CCMP. Also, specify the IEEE 802.1X authentication settings for the machine before connecting to the wireless LAN.

Support for Using the Wireless LAN on the Main Line

You can now use the wireless LAN on the main line when the machine is connected to two different networks at the same time.

Selecting the Network Connection Method

(Settings/Registration)

select the interface

<OK>


When <Main Line> or <Sub Line> is set to <Wireless LAN> If you change the settings from <Main Line> to <Sub Line> or from <Sub Line> to <Main Line>, the previous wireless LAN connection settings will be cleared, so you must reconnect to the wireless LAN. When <Main Line> or <Sub Line> is set to <Wired LAN> Set <Sleep Mode Energy Use> to <High>. When <Main Line> is set to <Wireless LAN>, and <Sub Line> is set to <Wired LAN> The wired LAN connected to the LAN port on the machine becomes the sub line. The wired LAN connected to the machine via a USB-LAN adapter cannot connect using the sub line.

When <Main Line> or <Sub Line> is set to <Wireless LAN>

If you change the settings from <Main Line> to <Sub Line> or from <Sub Line> to <Main Line>, the previous wireless LAN connection settings will be cleared, so you must reconnect to the wireless LAN.

When <Main Line> or <Sub Line> is set to <Wired LAN>

Set <Sleep Mode Energy Use> to <High>.

When <Main Line> is set to <Wireless LAN>, and <Sub Line> is set to <Wired LAN>

The wired LAN connected to the LAN port on the machine becomes the sub line. The wired LAN connected to the machine via a USB-LAN adapter cannot connect using the sub line.


When Connecting Directly to a Mobile Device When the machine is not connected to a wireless LAN, <Access Point Mode> cannot be used in <Direct Connection Type>. Connect the machine to a wireless LAN or change the configuration not to use <Wireless LAN> for <Main Line> and <Sub Line>. When <Main Line> or <Sub Line> is selected for <Wireless LAN> in <Select Interface>, <Wi-Fi Direct> cannot be used in <Direct Connection Type>.

When Connecting Directly to a Mobile Device

When the machine is not connected to a wireless LAN, <Access Point Mode> cannot be used in <Direct Connection Type>. Connect the machine to a wireless LAN or change the configuration not to use <Wireless LAN> for <Main Line> and <Sub Line>.

When <Main Line> or <Sub Line> is selected for <Wireless LAN> in <Select Interface>, <Wi-Fi Direct> cannot be used in <Direct Connection Type>.

Support for Using MAC Address Filtering for Sub Line Communication

When the machine is connected to two different networks at the same time, you can now set up a firewall in MAC address for the Sub Line.

Configuring the Firewall in MAC Addresses of the Sub Line

Press

(Settings/Registration).
