Computer's wireless card is set to the wrong wireless profile
A wireless profile is a set of network settings unique to a given network. A single wireless
card might have several wireless profiles (for example, one for home and one for the office).
Open the configuration utility for the network card installed on your computer and verify that
the profile selected is the profile for the printer's network. If not, select the correct profile.
Radio signal is weak
If the printer is printing slowly, then the radio signal might be weak. Follow these guidelines
for reducing interference in a wireless network:
●
Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing cabinets, and
other electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, as these
objects can disrupt radio signals.
●
Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building
structures as these objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.
●
For an infrastructure network, position the WAP in a central location in line of sight with
the wireless devices on the network.
●
Keep all wireless devices on the network within range of one another.
Wireless access point (WAP) filters MAC addresses
MAC filtering is a security feature in which a Wireless Access Point (WAP) is configured with
a list of MAC addresses (also called hardware addresses) of devices that are allowed to gain
access to the network through the WAP.
If the WAP does not have the hardware address of a device attempting to access the
network, the WAP denies the device access to the network. If the WAP filters MAC
addresses, then the printer's MAC address must be added to the WAP's list of accepted
MAC addresses.
1. Print a 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
.
2. Find the printer's hardware address on the configuration page.
Open the WAP's configuration utility, then add the printer's hardware address to the list of
accepted MAC addresses.
