Before you begin, make sure that:

  • The wireless access point or router is within range of the printer. Objects may interfere with Wi-Fi reception and the device's ability to reliably connect to the network. Things such as microwaves, cordless phones, or other electromagnetic devices may cause issues. Try to avoid moving the printer more than a room or two away and try to keep the machine on the same floor as the access point or router.

  • Active Adapter is set to Auto. From the home screen, touch Settings > Network/Ports > Network Overview > Active Adapter.

  • The Ethernet cable is not connected to the printer. This may disable the Wi-Fi connection as it will be the priority connection.

  • Make sure your network is compatible with 2.4 GHz. Contact your internet service provider or router/access point manufacturer for further assistance.

Note: For non-touch-screen printer models, press Ok to navigate through the settings.

Using the wireless setup wizard during the first time setup:

  1. From the home screen, touch Set up now.

  2. Select a Wi-Fi network, and then type the network password.

  3. Touch Done.

Using the Settings Menu in the Printer:

  1. From the home screen, touch Settings > Network/Ports > Wireless > Setup On Printer Panel > Choose Network.

  2. Select a Wi-Fi network, then type the network password.

Using the Embedded Web Server in the Printer:

Note: An Ethernet cable will need to be temporarily connected to access these settings.

  2. Select a Wi-Fi network, then type the network password.

  3. Press Save.

  4. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the machine and wait about a minute for the Wireless connection to complete. To verify if successful, print a network setup page and ensure it says connected under the wireless section.
