Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange during installation (Windows

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.

YOUR

PRINTER

Move the printer closer to the wireless access point (wireless router). Although the possible distance between
devices in 802.11b or 802.11g networks is 300 feet, the maximum range for optimal performance is generally 100–
150 feet.

You can find the signal strength of the network on the network setup page.

or

Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard.
