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 key or WEP passphrase.
If you have not changed the network name or the security passkey since setting up your wireless
network, you can sometimes find them on the back or side of the wireless router.
If you cannot find the network name or the security passkey or cannot remember this information,
see the documentation available with your computer or with the wireless router. If you still cannot
find this information, contact your network administrator or the person who set up the wireless
network.
TIP: If you are using a computer running Windows, HP provides a tool called HP Home
Network Diagnostic Utility that can help retrieve this information for some systems. To use this
tool, visit the HP Wireless Printing Center (
www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting), and then click
Network Diagnostic Utility in the Quick Links section. (At this time, this tool might not
available in all languages.)
