These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
Check cable
Make sure the installation cable is not still connected to the printer.
Configure optional wireless internal print server
If you purchased the optional internal wireless print server after your printer was already set up and have not already
configured it, see "Configuring the optional internal wireless print server" in the "Setting up the printer" chapter.
Check network name
Make sure your network does not have the same name as another network near you. For example, if you and your
neighbor both use a manufacturer's default network name, your printer could be connecting to your neighbor's
network.
If you are not using a unique network name, consult the documentation for your wireless access point (wireless
router) to learn how to set a network name.
If you set a new network name, you must reset the printer and computer SSID to the same network name.
To reset the computer network name, see the documentation that came with your computer.
To reset the printer name:
1
Click Start
Programs or All Programs
2
Click Wireless Setup Utility.
3
Follow the instructions on the computer screen, and enter the new network name when prompted.
Check security keys
Make sure security keys are correct. For more information, see "Check your security keys" on page 52.
Move your computer and/or printer
Move the computer and/or printer closer to the wireless access point (wireless router). Although the possible distance
between devices in 802.11b or 802.11g networks is 300 feet, the effective range for optimal performance is generally
100–150 feet.
You can find the signal strength of the network on the network setup page. For information on how to print a setup
page, see "Printing a network setup page" on page 50.
