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 To open the embedded web server.
2. On the Home tab, click Wireless Setup Wizard in the Setup box.
3. Follow the onscreen 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 from an Ethernet connection to a wireless connection
1.
On the printer control panel, touch (right arrow), touch Setup, and then touch Network.
2. Touch Wireless Setup Wizard, and then touch OK.
3. Follow the display instructions to complete the setup.

NOTE: If you cannot find the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless password (WPA
passphrase, WEP key), see Before you begin.
