4.2.7 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
Only devices that share the same WPA settings as the printer will be able to
communicate with the printer.
For example, if the printer's network uses WPA, only devices that have the same
WPA settings as the printer will be able to use the printer.
WPA provides better security than
WEP
