Connect the Printer to WPA/WPA2 Enterprise Wireless Networks

Enterprise Wireless configuration must be completed from the device’s Embedded Web Server and requires configuration of both 802.1X and Wireless settings.

Note: Wireless networks that support Enterprise Wi-Fi may be discoverable via the Local Printer Panel Wi-Fi wizard. While the network can be selected, the connection will not succeed since the complete configuration options are not available from this interface. Please only use the device’s Embedded Web Server to configure Enterprise Wi-Fi configurations.

   • Authentication Method and Credentials, including any required certificates

2. Temporarily setup the devices on an Ethernet (wired) network.

3. Access the Embedded Web Server.
