Check Selected Access Point

Check the access point functions

1. Check 1 Is the access point to which you want to establish a connection selected?

   Depending on the radio environment, other access points in your neighborhood may also be detected.
   Check that the SSIDs set for the printer and the computer are the same.
   To check the network (SSID) of the printer, click [Network Information] to display the [Network Information] window, and see "(27) SSID."
   To check the network (SSID) of the computer, select [System Preferences] from the Apple menu, and then click [Network].

2. Check 2 Is the access point in stealth mode?

   If the stealth mode is on for the access point, temporarily disable this mode, and then execute the access point detection.
   The description for the stealth mode may vary depending on the access point you use.
   When using a USB interfaced printer, connect the printer and the computer with a USB cable.

3. Check 3 Is the access point in ANY denial mode?

   If the access point is set to deny the access using the SSID ANY, enter the information that matches the settings for the access point.
   The description for the SSID ANY denial mode may vary depending on the access point you use.

4. Check 4 Is encryption enabled on the access point to which you want to connect?

   This screen may appear if the communication between the printer and the access point fails due to encryption.
   To check whether encryption is enabled on the target access point, see the manual that comes with the access point.
   If encryption is enabled on the printer, check that "(29)Encryption ON" is set to YES and information is shown in the fields from (30) to (32).
   When using a USB interfaced printer, to change the printer information, connect the printer and the computer with a USB cable.

How to check the encryption settings

If WEP is set

Enter the same password (WEP key) as that for the access point in the [Network Password] field of the [Access Points] screen. The key format and key length must match those of the access point.

If this screen appears again even after you have entered the password (WEP key) correctly, the setting for the Password (WEP) [Key ID] or [Authentication] may not match that of the access point. Click [Manual Setup], and then on the [Manual Setup] screen that appears next, enter the Network (SSID) of the access point, select [Use Password (WEP)] for [Encryption].
Enter the same password (WEP key) as that for the access point in the [password (WEP key)] field of the [WEP Details] screen, set [Key Length], [Key Format], [Key ID] and [Authentication] so that they all match those of the access point, and then click [OK].

If WPA/WPA2 is set

Enter the same PSK (Pre-Shared Key) or passphrase as that for the access point in the [Network Password] field of the [Access Points] screen. The key format and key length must match those of access point.

If this screen appears again even after you have entered the Network password correctly, the setting for [Passphrase] may not match that of the access point. Click [Manual Setup], and then on the [Manual Setup] screen that appears next, enter the SSID of the access point, select [Use WPA] or [Use WPA/WPA2] for [Encryption], and then click [Configuration...].
In the [Passphrase and Dynamic Encryption Setup] screen that appears, enter the passphrase that is set for the access point in the [Passphrase] field.

If WPA Enterprise or WPA2 Enterprise is set for the access point, this printer cannot connect to the access point. Change the setting for the access point to Password (WEP) or WPA Personal/WPA2 Personal, and then restart the access point.
