THE
WIRELESS
SETUP
AGAIN
If your wireless settings have changed, you must run the printer wireless setup again. Some reasons your settings
may have changed include your having manually changed your WEP or WPA keys, channel, or other network
settings; or the access point having been reset to factory defaults.
Running the wireless setup again can also resolve issues due to misconfigurations that occurred when configuring
the printer for wireless access.
Notes:
•
If you change network settings, change them on all the network devices before changing them for the access
point.
•
If you have already changed the wireless network settings on your access point, then you must change the
settings on all the other network devices before you can see them on the network.

Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange during installation
(Macintosh only)
When the Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange, it indicates that the printer has been set up for wireless networking
but cannot connect to the network for which it has been configured. The printer may be unable to join the network
because of interference, its distance from the wireless access point (wireless router), or until its settings are changed.
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

ANTENNAS
Antennas usually work best if they are pointing straight up. You may find that reception improves if you experiment
with different angles for the printer and/or wireless access point antennas.
