B: Check to see if you can access the EWS
After you establish that the computer and the printer both have active connections to a network, you
can verify if they are on the same network by accessing the printer's EWS. For more information, see
Embedded web server on page 249.
To access the EWS
1.
On your computer, open the EWS. For more information, see Embedded web server
NOTE: If you are using a proxy server in your browser, you might need to disable it to access
the EWS.
2.
If you can access the EWS, try using the printer over the network (such as to print) to see if your
network setup was successful.
3.
If you cannot access the EWS or are still having problems using the printer over the network,
continue to the next section regarding firewalls.
C: Check your printer connection status using the printer control panel
▲
If the printer is connected to a network, open the network status screen to check the wireless
status. For more information, see View and print network settings on page 240.
Step 3: Make sure your computer is not connected over a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a computer network that uses the Internet to provide a remote,
secure connection to an organization's network. However, most VPN services do not allow you to
access local devices (like your printer) on your local network while your computer is connected to the
VPN.
To connect to the printer, disconnect from the VPN.
TIP: To use the printer while connected to the VPN, you can connect the printer to your computer
with a USB cable. The printer uses its USB and network connections at the same time.
For more information, contact your network administrator or the person who set up the wireless
network.
