2 Networking Your Printer

To connect your printer to an 802.11b/g/n wireless (Wi-Fi) network, refer to the following information.

Before you connect

You need:

  • a wireless router.

  • to determine whether your wireless router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).

    NOTE:If you have specific questions about your router, see your router manufacturer's documentation for more information.

Connecting to a wireless network using the Wi-Fi Setup Wizard

You can use the Wi-Fi Setup Wizard on the printer to connect to your wireless network. Use the procedures that is appropriate for your network setup.

Connecting to a non-WPS wireless router

To connect your printer to your wireless network, you need to know the network name, also called the Service Set Identifier (SSID). You can obtain your network name from the wireless router. See the manufacturer's documentation for more information.

If you have enabled security on your network, you also need to know the security string (passphrase or password), which may be a Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or a Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) passphrase.

Record your network information using the correct uppercase and lowercase letters.

Network Name (SSID):

Security String (case-sensitive):

  2. Press to select Network Settings, then press OK.

  3. With Wi-Fi Setup Wizard selected, press OK.

    NOTE:The Wi-Fi radio turns on when you select Wi-Fi Setup Wizard.

    If there are additional networks than can be shown on the LCD, press to view them.

  4. Press to select your network, then press OK.

    If you don't see your network in the list, or if you want to change your network, select Rescan for Wireless Networks, then press OK.

    NOTE: If the name of your network is not listed, make sure your wireless router is turned on and within range.

  5. If your network requires a password, use the LCD keyboard to enter your Security String. The Security String is case-sensitive.
