Finding the signal strength
Wireless devices have built-in antennas that transmit and receive radio signals. The signal strength listed on the
printer network setup page indicates how strongly a transmitted signal is being received. Many factors can affect
the signal strength. One factor is interference from other wireless devices or even other devices such as microwave
ovens. Another factor is distance. The farther two wireless devices are from each other, the more likely it is that the
communication signal will be weaker.
Why do I need an installation cable?
When you set up the printer on your wireless network, you will need to temporarily connect the printer to a computer
using the installation cable. This temporary connection is used to set up the wireless settings of the printer.
