Using WPS to Set Up a Direct Wi-Fi Connection

You can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to create a direct Wi-Fi connection to a WPS-enabled computer or device.
Note: While you are connected to the scanner, your computer cannot access the internet.
  1. Make sure the scanner is turned off.
  2. Set the connection mode switch on the scanner to the AP mode position.


  3. Enable WPS on your router by pressing the WPS button or enabling the WPS setting in your router firmware. The router enters WPS discovery mode for 2 minutes.
  4. Turn on the scanner.
  5. Press and hold the Connect button for at least 3 seconds until the ready and  Wi-Fi lights flash alternately.


    When the ready and  Wi-Fi lights on the scanner stay on, the connection is established.
    Note: If you do not complete this step within 2 minutes, start the procedure again.
