WiFi Networking on the A6200

Wi-Fi Connect to a Wi-Fi network either by searching for and selecting a network, or by manually entering the network settings. Once connected, the printer can communicate with devices on that network.
  • Note: The on-screen keyboard for entering passwords and user names contains only the characters allowed for network user names and passwords. Thus, you may see a keyboard that differs from those you have enabled in Settings.

If you are not using Brady Workstation software, you need to install the printer driver. See the Driver Installation Guide PDF file on the USB drive that came with the printer.

Search to Connect

This is the easiest and most common method for connecting. To connect to a Wi-Fi wireless network:

1. Make sure the printer is turned on.

2. Tap Settings. image.png
3. Tap Connection.
4. Tap Wi-Fi Network to turn on Wi-Fi. The printer searches for Wi-Fi networks and displays a list of networks found. Touch and drag to scroll the list. (If you need to identify the network by static IP address or DHCP, see “Manually Enter Settings” on page 13 of the user manual.) Tap the network that you want to use.
  • If the network is not locked, simply tap it and the printer connects to it.
  • If the network is locked, as indicated by a lock symbol, tap the network and a key pad opens
Enter the password and tap image.png.

Note: If your network uses WEP authentication, a menu displays instead so that you can enter both the password and the WEP index (key).

If the network you need is not in the list, it may not be discoverable. Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap Other. Choose either Personal Network or Enterprise Network. The system displays settings appropriate to your selection. You may need information from your IT department to complete the settings


Manually Enter Settings

Use this method if you need to identify the network by static IP or DHCP. Contact your network administrator for assistance.
