Printer has the wrong wireless network settings

The printer's wireless network settings must match those of your network, which includes the
following:

Communication mode

Network Name (SSID)

Channel (ad-hoc networks only)

Authentication type

1

Reconnect the cable.

2

Compare the network settings to those that appear on the printer's network configuration
page.
To print a configuration page, when the printer is in the Ready state, press and hold the Go
button for 5 seconds. For more information, see

Network configuration page

.

3

Do one of the following to find the settings for your network:

• If the printer is communicating with the network using the infrastructure mode, open the

Wireless Access Point's (WAP) configuration utility.

• If the printer is communicating with the network using the ad-hoc mode, open the

configuration utility for the network card installed in your computer.

4

Compare the settings and note any settings that are different. Possible problems include:

• The WAP filters hardware addresses (MAC addresses). See

Wireless access point (WAP)

filters MAC addresses

.

• One of these settings in the printer might be incorrect: communication mode, network

name (SSID), channel (ad-hoc networks only), or security settings. See

Printer has the

wrong wireless network settings

.

5

Reprint the configuration page.

To change the printer’s network settings:

1

Open the printer's EWS.

2

Click the Networking tab, then click Network Settings under the Configuration heading.

3

Change the printer's settings to match the settings of the network, then click Finish.

4

Click the Advanced Configuration button to access advanced authentication and WPA
(TKIP) settings.

5

Close the printer's EWS, then disconnect the Ethernet cable from the printer.

6

The control panel lights will cycle.

If the printer is still not working, verify the computer’s wireless profile. Then, as a last option, reset
the network settings to the factory defaults and use the printer software CD to reinstall the printer
software.

To reset the network settings to the factory defaults, when the printer is turned off, press and
hold the Reset button on the back of the printer. Turn on the printer, and continue to hold the
Reset button until the printer is in the Ready state.

Note

If you reset the network settings, you will have to reconfigure all the network settings.
