Set up the printer using WiFi Protected Setup (WPS)

NOTE: Only set up wireless using WPS if your wireless network uses WPA data encryption.
If your wireless network uses WEP or is not using any encryption at all, use one of the other
methods provided in this section to set up the printer on your wireless network.

WPS. Routers that support WPS often have a

You can use one of the following methods to set up the printer using WPS:
