Connect your printer 2
Learn about different ways to connect your printer.
Before you begin (Wi-Fi models)
Ensure the following:
● Your Wi-Fi network is set up and working properly.
● Wi-Fi capability of the printer is turned on. Press the Wi-Fi button to turn it on.
For Wi-Fi status, see Wi-Fi status, light, and icons (Wi-Fi models) .
● The printer is in Wi-Fi setup mode. In setup mode, the Wi-Fi light should blink blue.
If not, restore the printer network settings. See Restore original factory defaults and settings .
● The printer and the devices that use the printer are on the same network (subnet).
While connecting the printer, you might be prompted to enter the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and a Wi-Fi
password.
● SSID is the name of your Wi-Fi network.
● The Wi-Fi password prevents other people from connecting to your Wi-Fi network without your
permission. Depending on the level of security required, your Wi-Fi network might use either a WPA
passphrase or WEP key.
● If you have not changed the network name or the security passkey since setting up your Wi-Fi network,
you might find them on the back or side of the wireless router.
● If you cannot find or remember your network credentials, see the documentation provided with your
computer or with the wireless router; or contact your network administrator or the person who set up the
Wi-Fi network.
NOTE: To resolve network connection issues, see Fix network connection issues .
