Connect using a type that is supported by your wireless LAN router. To specify the authentication, encryption, or other security method in detail, use manual setup mode to connect.
The following connection types are supported by the machine:
Connecting to a Wireless LAN
Connect a computer to the machine via a wireless LAN router (access point).
Depending on your wireless LAN router, the connection type and security standard may vary. Check for a connection type and security standard that are supported by both the wireless LAN router and the machine, and then establish a connection according to the connection type.
Depending on the connection type, you may need to enter the security information and other information of the wireless LAN router.

* When you use a wireless LAN, the optional Wireless LAN Board is required.
IMPORTANT
Connect with a Secure Network Environment
The radio waves used for wireless communication can reach beyond walls and other obstructions within a certain range. Therefore, connecting the machine to a network without proper security measures may leak personal data and other information to third parties. Connect the machine to a wireless LAN at your own discretion and responsibility. Protecting the Network
NOTE
Reducing Power Consumption
When Power Save Mode is enabled, the machine regularly enters the power save state according to the signal transmitted by the wireless LAN router. [Power Save Mode]
Checking the Connection Types and Security Standards Supported by the Machine
Connection Type
Push Button Mode (WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup))
If the wireless LAN router has the above symbol on the outside box or the button of the device, you can easily connect by pressing the button.
* If the wireless LAN router is set up to use WEP authentication, you may not be able to connect with WPS. In this case, use manual setup mode to connect.
WPS PIN Code Mode
If you are using a WPS router that does not support the push button mode, enter the PIN code to connect.
* If the wireless LAN router is set up to use WEP authentication, you may not be able to connect with WPS. In this case, use manual setup mode to connect.
Access Point Setup Mode
Search for the wireless LAN router from the machine, and enter the network key (password) manually to connect.
When you connect with access point setup mode, the following authentication and encryption methods are set:
WEP authentication method: Open System
Encryption for WPA/WPA2/WPA3: AES-CCMP or TKIP is set automatically according to the selected wireless LAN router.
To specify a different authentication or encryption method, use manual setup mode to connect.
Manual Setup Mode
In addition to the SSID (network name) and network key, manually enter all the wireless LAN settings such as the authentication and encryption methods to connect.
Security Standards
The wireless LAN of the machine supports the security standards below. For details on whether your wireless LAN router supports these standards, see the manual of the wireless LAN router or contact the manufacturer.
128 (104)/64 (40) bit WEP
WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES-CCMP)
WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES-CCMP)
WPA3-SAE (AES-CCMP)
WPA-EAP (AES-CCMP)
WPA2-EAP (AES-CCMP)
WPA3-EAP (AES-CCMP)
IMPORTANT
You cannot use WPA/WPA2-EAP when connecting to a wired LAN and wireless LAN at the same time.
If the machine is configured to not use weak encryption, it cannot be connected to the following wireless LAN routers: [Prohibit Use of Weak Encryption]
Routers without security settings
Routers configured to use WEP authentication or TKIP encryption
