About the WPS button and connection using a PIN code
Depending on the access point (router) used, setup may be possible using either the WPS
button, a PIN code, or both methods.
To establish a connection using a PIN code, the confi guration screen of the access point
(router) must be displayed on the computer.
About WPS connection security
The encryption method for the devices is automatically confi gured by WPS.
Security settings depend on the connection environment. Accordingly, it cannot be assumed that
