Wi-Fi indicator is not lit

These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

Check power

Make sure the printer power light is on. For more information, see “Power button is not lit”.

Remove and reinstall the optional internal print server

Note: This solution does not apply to printers that came with the internal wireless print server already installed.

Reinstall the internal wireless print server. For more information, see “Installing an optional internal wireless print
server”.

Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange during installation

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 or 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:

Make sure the access point is on

Check the access point and, if necessary, turn it on.

Move your wireless access point (wireless router) to minimize interference

There may be temporary interference from other devices such as microwave ovens or other appliances, cordless
phones, baby monitors, and security system cameras. Make sure your wireless access point (wireless router) is not
positioned too closely to these devices.

Try adjusting external antennas

Generally, antennas work best if they are pointing straight up. You may find, however, that reception improves if you
experiment with different angles for your printer and/or wireless access point (wireless router) antennas.
