Before performing the 
network settings
When your wireless LAN router (access 
point) is Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)-
compatible, you can easily set the network 
settings with the WPS button.
If not, check the following information in 
advance, and record it in the space provided 
below.
• The network name (SSID*) that 
identifies your network**.
                                                                  
• If security is set on your wireless 
network, the security key (WEP key, 
WPA key)**.
                                                                  
* SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that 
identifies a particular wireless network.
** You need to check the settings of your wireless 
LAN router to get the information about SSID 
and security key. For details:

About wireless LAN 
security
Since communication via the wireless LAN 
function is established by radio waves, the 
wireless signal may be susceptible to 
interception. To protect wireless 
communication, this system supports 
various security functions. Be sure to 
correctly configure the security settings in 
accordance with your network 
environment.
No Security
Although you can easily make settings, 
anyone can intercept wireless 
communication or intrude into your 
wireless network, even without any 
sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that there 
is a risk of unauthorized access or 
interception of data.
WEP
WEP applies security to communications 
to prevent outsiders from intercepting 
communications or intruding into your 
wireless network. WEP is a legacy security 
technology that enables older devices 
which do not support TKIP/AES to be 
connected.
WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK 
(TKIP)
TKIP is a security technology developed in 
response to the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP 
assures a higher security level than WEP.
WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK 
(AES)
AES is a security technology that uses an 
advanced security method distinct from 
WEP and TKIP. AES assures a higher 
security level than WEP or TKIP.
