Connection options

Wireless connection
You must install the software on every computer from which
you want to print. For the fi rst installation, we recommend
using a USB cable (not included) to simplify wireless setup.
After the printer is connected to the network, you will be
prompted to remove the cable.
If you're using Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8, or you don't
have a USB cable, you will need to use the buttons on the
printer to select wireless settings. Follow the instructions on
your computer screen during software installation; they will
explain how to connect the printer wirelessly this way.
Make sure you know your network name (SSID) and network
password:
• Network name
• Network password
If you don't have this information, contact the person who set
up your network.
