Connecting the printer to a wireless network using the Embedded Web Server

Before you begin, make sure that:

•

Your printer is connected temporarily to an Ethernet network.

•

A wireless network adapter is installed in your printer and working properly. For more information, see the
instruction sheet that came with the wireless network adapter.

1

Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.

Notes:

•

View the printer IP address on the printer control panel. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers
separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.

•

If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.

2

Click Settings > Network/Ports > Wireless.

3

Modify the settings to match the settings of your access point (wireless router).

Note: Make sure to enter the correct SSID, security method, preshared key or passphrase, network mode, and
channel.

4

Click Submit.

5

Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the Ethernet cable. Then wait for at least five seconds, and then turn the
printer back on.

6

To verify if your printer is connected to the network, print a network setup page. Then in the Network Card [x]
section, see if the status is Connected.

Changing port settings after installing a new network ISP

Notes:

•

If the printer has a static IP address, then you do not need to make any changes.

•

If the computers are configured to use the network name, instead of an IP address, then you do not need to
make any changes.

•

If you are adding a wireless ISP to a printer previously configured for an Ethernet connection, then make sure
the printer is disconnected from the Ethernet network.

For Windows users

1

Open the printers folder.

2

From the shortcut menu of the printer with the new ISP, open the printer properties.

3

Configure the port from the list.

4

Update the IP address.

5

Apply the changes.

For Macintosh users

1

From System Preferences in the Apple menu, navigate to the list of printers, and then select + > IP.

2

Type the IP address in the address field.
