2. Using a Network-Connected Machine
Wireless network setup
• Wireless networking may not be available depending on the model (see
"Features by model" on page 6).
Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up,
a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Password are
created for the network. Ask your network administrator about this information
before proceeding with the machine installation.
