Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides security by encrypting data sent over radio

waves from one wireless device to another wireless device. Devices on a WEP-

enabled network use WEP keys to encode data.

To configure the printer to operate on a network that uses WEP, you must know the

WEP key(s) that the network uses.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides security by doing the following:

• Encrypting data sent over radio waves from one wireless device to another

wireless device

• Controlling access to network resources through authentication protocols

To configure the printer to operate on a network that uses WPA, you must know the

passphrase and authentication protocol that the network uses.
