### Before Configuring Your Lenovo Machine for a Wireless Network

Before attempting to configure a wireless network, confirm the following:

- To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Lenovo machine as close to the wireless LAN access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two devices and interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents.

  Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics, you may want to consider selecting wired Ethernet for faster data transfer, or USB for the fastest throughput speed.

  Although the Lenovo machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection method can be used at a time.

- Before configuring wireless settings, you must know your Network name (SSID) and Network Key.
