CHECK IF YOUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT HAS AN ASSOCIATION/REGISTRATION BUTTON
Wireless broadband boxes in Europe, the Middle East and Africa such as LiveBox, AliceBox, N9UF Box, FreeBox, or
Club Internet may require you to press an association/registration button when adding the printer to your wireless
network.
If you are using one of these boxes and need more information, see the documentation that came with your box,
or contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
MOVE YOUR ACCESS POINT AWAY FROM OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES
There may be temporary interference from electronic devices such as microwave ovens or other appliances,
cordless phones, baby monitors, and security system cameras. Make sure your access point is not positioned too
closely to these devices.
MOVE THE COMPUTER AND/OR PRINTER CLOSER TO THE WIRELESS ROUTER
The range of your wireless network depends on many factors, including the abilities of your router and network
adapters. If you are having trouble printing, try placing the computer and printer no more than 100 feet apart.
CHECK THE WIRELESS SIGNAL QUALITY
Print the network setup page and check the signal quality. If the signal quality is listed as good or excellent, then
another factor is causing the problem.
CHECK YOUR ADVANCED SECURITY SETTINGS
• If you are using MAC address filtering to limit access to your wireless network, then you must add the printer
MAC address to the list of addresses allowed to connect to the wireless access point.
• If you set the wireless access point to issue a limited number of IP addresses, then you must change this so that
the printer can be added.
Note: If you do not know how to make these changes, then see the documentation that came with the wireless
router, or contact the person who set up your wireless network.
MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER IS CONNECTED TO YOUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT (WIRELESS
ROUTER)
• See if you have access to the Internet by opening your Web browser and accessing any site.
• If there are other computers or resources on your wireless network, then check to see if you can access them
from your computer.
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR COMPUTER AND PRINTER ARE CONNECTED TO THE SAME WIRELESS
NETWORK
If the printer is not on the same wireless network as the computer, then you will not be able to print wirelessly.
The SSID of the printer must match the SSID of the computer, if the computer is already connected to the wireless
network.
