WLAN ENCRYPTION - Wi-Fi Security Mode

ConfigurationUnsupported

Plain English

Selects the Wi-Fi security mode the printer uses to associate. OPEN is unencrypted; WEP is legacy and insecure; WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 are the modern pre-shared-key modes (PSK comes from `WLAN PSK`). Enterprise-capable firmware may also accept WPA2-ENTERPRISE / WPA-EAP, which require certificate-handling sibling commands per the model's addendum. Verify exact spelling against the target model's WLAN setup addendum.

When to use

Once per Wi-Fi profile, before `WLAN PSK`. Must match the access point's configured security mode or association will fail.
