[. . . ] If it has been activated, open the Exceptions window and continue with the next step. c Check that the Bonjour program is present in the list of "Programs and services" and that it has been selected (ticked). Click on the "OK" button to exit and continue with the suggestion at point 3. d If the Bonjour, program is not present, click Update program > Browse to select the contents of the hard disk, C:> Programs > Bonjour > mDNSresponder. exe. Check that the tick sign is present (the path may vary according to the settings selected for the computer). h Click the Retry (Update) button and restart "Wi-Fi installation" from step 5. a Turn the printer on again and wait for the green light of the Wi-Fi icon to lights up on the front panel. b Repeat installation from the "Creating a connection between the computer and the printer". 3 8 WI-FI CONNECTIVITY GUIDE THE PRINTER IS NOT RECOGNISED DURING INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION To connect the printer to a computer by means of an existing wireless network, it is necessary to know the following network information: Network name, wireless connection mode and encryption settings (WEP, EAP PSK). note: Contact the network administrator for all information regarding the Wi-Fi parameters. note: Check the firewall settings that could prevent the recognition of the printer. note: The Toolbox software with the related Wi-Fi settings is Windows 2000/XP-compatible. Under Macintosh OS X 10. 2 or later, the Toolbox software can be run from the system desktop from the listing of available programs or by double clicking the Toolbox document in the folder where the printer software was installed. Enter the parameters of the network so that the printer can be recognised on the network, making sure that the Wi-Fi network on which the printer is to be installed is operative. The wireless settings required are: SSID (network name) of the network used, wireless channel (only Ad-Hoc mode) used by the computer; method of communication, WEP key used by the wireless network. note: The desktop computer or portable with wireless network connection support (only for Ad-Hoc mode) must be operational and correctly configured. · · Described below are the network parameter definition fields: Enable wireless: To enable or disable wireless communication; if disabled, the printer can be accessed in any case via the USB connection. Wireless communication mode: Makes it possible to select the type of connection for the Wi-Fi network, which may be: ­ Ad-Hoc (Peer-to-Peer) (pre-defined setting): The printer communicates directly with the computer without passing through an access point or basic station. Each wireless peripheral in an Ad-Hoc network must have a wireless network adapter. The adapter allows each peripheral to communicate with the other network peripherals. Use of Ad-Hoc mode is usually restricted to simple, relatively small wireless networks as performance tends to deteriorate considerably following connection of six peripherals in the network. ­ Infrastructure (access point): The printer communicates with the networked computers through an access point. The access point enables wireless networks to connect to wired networks. In the infrastructure mode, all wireless data exchange between networked peripherals passes through the access point. [. . . ] Carry out the instructions displayed to configure the printer for the type of authentication and coding selected. Check that the information is correct, click Apply to save the keys in the printer. 12 WI-FI CONNECTIVITY GUIDE CHECKING FIREWALL SETTINGS With the UDP protocol, data is exchanged on port 5353 by the mDNSResponder. exe application. During printer installation in the Wi-Fi mode (after activating the printer's Wi-Fi component via USB), the mDNS service attempts to connect to the printer for detection. If connection is inhibited by a firewall, printer detection will not be possible. [. . . ]
