Linking This Machine with a Mobile Terminal Using the QR Code

Enabling the QR code display function of this machine

Configure settings to display network information of this machine as the QR code on the screen of this machine. You can only read the QR code on the mobile terminal to easily establish a pairing between this machine and the mobile terminal.

Select [System Settings] - [System Connection Setting] - [Mobile Connection Settings] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the following settings.

Setting

Description

[Quick Connection Setting]

Configure functions to associate with a mobile terminal.

  • [QR Code Display Setting]: When displaying wireless connection information of this machine using the QR code, set this option to ON (default: OFF).

[Wireless Connection Use Setting]

Specify information required to connect from a mobile terminal to this machine in wireless mode.

  • [Wireless Connection Use Setting]: When connecting from a mobile terminal to this machine in wireless mode, set this option to ON (default: OFF).

  • [Wireless Connection Method]: Specify the method to establish a wireless connection between a mobile terminal and this machine (default: [Use MFP Wireless Setting]). If [Individual Settings] is selected, configure the following settings.
    [SSID]: Enter the SSID of the access point (using up to 32 characters).
    [Authentication/Encryption Algorithm]: Select the algorithm used for authentication or encryption (default: [No Authentication/Encryption]).
    Specify [Key Input Method] and [WEP Key] when [WEP] is selected in [Authentication/Encryption Algorithm].
    When an algorithm other than [WEP] or [No Authentication/Encryption] is selected in [Authentication/Encryption Algorithm], specify [Key Input Method] and [Passphrase].

When [Network I/F Configuration] is set to [Wireless Only], a pairing is established by applying the wireless settings of this machine; therefore, this setting is not displayed.
