Before you begin
Ensure the following:
●
The wireless network is set up and working properly.
●
The printer and the computers that use the printer are on the same network (subnet).
While connecting the printer, you might be prompted to enter the wireless network name (SSID) and a wireless
password.
●
The wireless network name is the name of your wireless network.
●
The wireless password prevents other people from connecting to your wireless network without your
permission. Depending on the level of security required, your wireless 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 wireless network,
you can sometimes nd them on the back or side of the wireless router.
If you cannot nd the network name or the security password or cannot remember this information, see the
documentation provided with your computer or with the wireless router. If you still cannot nd this
information, contact your network administrator or the person who set up the wireless network.
Set up the printer on your wireless network
Use the Wireless Setup Wizard from the printer control panel display to set up wireless communication.
