  • Install this machine in a place with a good view and near a wireless access point. (We suggest that the distance between the machine and the access point be 30 m or less.)

    If there is metal, aluminum sash, or a reinforced concrete wall between the machine and wireless access points, connections may be harder to be established.

    Do not place any electric appliances that emit weak radio waves (such as microwaves or digital cordless telephones) close to the machine.

[Wireless(AP Mode)] No wireless devices (computers, tablets, smartphones) are connected.

  • Make sure that [Wireless(AP Mode)] on the machine is set to [Enable].

  • Confirm the SSID/password for the machine and try Manual Setup.

  • Make a setting in a location near the machine with good visibility.

  • Up to four devices can be connected to the machine via the wireless LAN (AP mode). The fifth device will be rejected. Disconnect at least one device and try again.
