How To Set Wep Key Hp 4620

Step 1: Install software for your printer

To set up wireless communication, run the installation

program from the HP software CD provided with the

printer. The installation program installs the software

and creates a wireless connection.

Note: Before you set up wireless communication,

make sure the printer hardware is set up. For

more information, see the setup poster that came

with the printer or instructions on the printer

control panel display.

Follow the instructions for your operating system.

1. Place the HP software CD into the computer, and

then follow the onscreen instructions.

Note: If the firewall software on your

computer displays any messages during the

installation, select the “always permit/allow”

option in the messages. Selecting this option

allows the software to install successfully on

your computer.

2. Follow the instructions for your operating system.

• Windows: When prompted, click Network

(Ethernet/Wireless), and then follow the

onscreen instructions.

• Mac OS X: Double-click the HP Installer icon on

the software CD, and then follow the onscreen

instructions.

3. If prompted, enter the wireless network name and

password.

What is my wireless network name and password?

While you are installing the software, you will be

prompted to enter the wireless network name (also

called an “SSID”) and a wireless password:

• The wireless network name is the name of your

wireless network.

• Depending on the level of security required, your

wireless network might use either a WPA key or

WEP passphrase.

If you have not changed the wireless network name

or the wireless password since setting up your

wireless network, you can sometimes find them on

the back or side of the wireless router.

In addition, if you are using a computer running

Windows, HP provides a tool called HP Home

Network Diagnostic Utility that can help retrieve

this information for some systems. To use this tool,

visit the HP Wireless Printing Center

(www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting), and then

click Network Diagnostic Utility in the Quick Links

section. (At this time, this tool might not available in

all languages.)

If you cannot find the wireless network name and

password or cannot remember this information, see

the documentation available with your computer or

with the wireless router. If you still cannot find this

information, contact your network administrator or

the person who set up the wireless network.

For more information about the network

connections types, the wireless network name, and

the wireless password (WPA passphrase, WEP

key), see the user guide.
