Setting a WEP Key

If the wireless network uses WEP to encrypt transmitted data, the corresponding WEP key must be set to the printer to allow communications with other network devices.

2Display the “Security Method” screen.

[System Settings] [Interface Settings] [Wireless LAN] [Security Method]

The entered WEP key is represented by asterisks.

For a 128-bit WEP key, enter the key using either 26 hexadecimal characters or 13 ASCII characters.

For ASCII character strings, uppercase and lowercase letters are differentiated, so be sure to enter characters in the required case.
