### Use Vertical Pairing to Install Drivers Used for Printing in Infrastructure Mode (Windows® 7 and Windows® 8)

Windows® Vertical Pairing is a technology that allows your Vertical Pairing-supported wireless machine to connect to your Infrastructure network using the PIN Method of WPS and the Web Services feature. It enables printer driver installation from the printer icon in the Add a device screen. If you are in Infrastructure mode, you can connect your machine to the wireless network, and then install the printer driver using this feature.

- Verify that the host computer and the Fuji Xerox machine are on the same subnet, or that the router is correctly configured to pass data between the two devices.
- If you have disabled your machine's Web Services feature, you must re-enable it by selecting the Web Services check box and clicking Submit. The default setting of Web Services for the Fuji Xerox machine is Enabled. You can change the Web Services setting using Web Based Management.
- Make sure your wireless LAN access point/router has the Windows® 7 or Windows® 8 compatibility logo. If you are not sure about the compatibility logo, contact your access point/router manufacturer.
