settings before you can configure the wireless settings again.

You can configure your print server by using the Setup Wizard function. This is located in the Network
menu on the machine’s control panel. See to the steps below for further information.
Configuring your machine for an existing wireless network 3
a Before configuring your machine we recommend you write down the SSID and Password (Network Key)
(if required) for your wireless network. You will need this information before you continue with the
configuration. If your wireless access point/router is set to not broadcast the SSID Name, see
Configuring your machine when the SSID is not broadcast on page 29.
