Network troubleshooting checklist

Before beginning to troubleshoot the wireless printer, verify the following:

General Networking

Make sure:

•

The printer, the computer, and the wireless access point are all plugged in and turned on.

•

The wireless network is working properly.

Try accessing other computers on your wireless network. If your network has Internet access, try connecting to
the Internet over a wireless connection.

•

The printer driver is installed on the computer from which you are performing a task.

•

The correct printer port is selected.

•

The IP address, gateway, and network mask are correct for your network.

Print a network setup page from the printer to check the network settings.

•

All switches, hubs, and other connecting devices are turned on.

Ethernet Networking

Make sure:

•

The Ethernet cable and connectors are not damaged.

Check the connectors at both ends for any obvious damage. If possible, use a new cable. Damage to the cable
may not be obvious.

•

The Ethernet cable is firmly plugged in to the printer and to the network hub or wall connection.
