the network device vary depending on your system environment. For details,
refer to your device's instruction manual or contact its manufacturer.
•In an office setup, consult your network administrator
•If you connect to a network that is not protected with security measures, there
is a risk of disclosing data such as your personal information to a third party.
•Place the machine and computer on the same network segment.

Software Installation
To use the machine by connecting it to a computer, software including the drivers needs to be copied (installed) to the computer's hard disk.

The setup program will start automatically. The setup instructions presented in this document describe the “Cableless Setup” method
which does not require the need to know the Access Point / SSID (network name), or network password and does not require the printer to
be temporarily connected to the computer with a USB cable.
The Cableless Setup is not supported in Windows XP. For Windows XP Users: Use the “Standard Setup” method. You will need to know your
Access Point name and Network Password when using the Standard setup.
*If you don’t have or cannot use the Setup CD-ROM, follow the steps below to start the setup.
•Download the software (click the link to download)
•Double-click the downloaded .exe file.
