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 configuration page.

To print a configuration page, when the printer is in the Ready state, press and hold
the

G

O

button until the Ready light starts blinking. For more information, see

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 embedded Web server.

2. Click the Networking tab. For wireless settings, click Wireless. For IP settings, click IP

Configuration.

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

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

5. 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

G

O

and

C

ANCEL

buttons. Turn on the printer, and continue to hold the

G

O

and

C

buttons until all lights are blinking in unison.

NOTE

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