provided with the router or wireless access point.

Wait for about 2 minutes. If the printer connects successfully, the wireless light stops blinking but

Set up the printer using the embedded web server (EWS)

If the printer is connected to a network, you can use the printer's embedded web server (EWS) to set

up wireless communication.

1.

Open the EWS. For more information, see Embedded web server on page 155.

2.

On the Home tab, click Wireless Setup Wizard in the Setup box.

3.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

TIP: You can also set up wireless communication by entering or changing individual wireless

settings. To change these settings, on the Network tab, click Advanced in the Wireless (802.11)

section on the left, change the wireless settings, and then click Apply.

Change the connection type

After you have installed the HP software and connected the printer to your computer or to a network,

you can use the HP software to change the connection type (for example, from a USB connection to

a wireless connection).

NOTE: If you are changing to a wireless connection, make sure that an Ethernet cable has not been

connected to the printer. Connecting an Ethernet cable turns off the printer's wireless capabilities.

Also, you might be prompted to temporarily connect a USB cable during the setup process.

To change the connection type, do one of the following:
