Where do I find WPS Pin to setup printer

Where do I find WPS Pin to setup printer : A WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a type of wireless setup environment that can establish a connection between two terminals or devices in a much faster and secure manner. There are two types of security protocols for WPS connection- one is WPA Personal and the other one is WPA2. Most recent HP printers support WPS-enabled Wireless technology in order to print documents from a computer over the same wireless network. The print and scan process is swift, easy and accurate. You may travel anywhere and yet you may use your personal printer to issue printing orders using HP Cloud technology or HP Smart.

In order to set up the wireless connection, you need to enable WPS and connect to your printer using the security key or the PIN password of the setup environment. This can also be done with the simple push of a button- the WPS switch.

Therefore, a WPS connection has two methods:

1. WPS PIN
