Tips for setting up and using a networked printer
Use the following tips to set up and use a networked printer:
• When setting up the wireless networked printer, make sure your wireless router or access point is powered
on. When the Wireless Setup Wizard is used to set up a networked printer, the printer searches for wireless
routers and lists the detected network names on the display.
• To verify the wireless connection, check the Wireless LED on the front panel. If the LED blue light is on, the
printer is connected to a wireless network. Touch the Wireless icon on the Home screen to display the
Wireless status dashboard. Touch Settings to display the Wireless menu, with options for setting up a
wireless connection or turning on wireless for the printer if the printer has already been configured for a
wireless connection.
