These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
Check
cable
Make sure the installation cable is not connected to the printer.
Configure
the optional
internal wireless
print server
Note: This solution does not apply to printers that have a pre-installed internal wireless print server.
If you purchased the optional internal wireless print server after your printer was already set up, 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.
For more information, see "Checking your network name" in the "Wireless troubleshooting" section.
Check security
keys
Make sure security keys are correct. For more information, see "Check your security keys" on page 148.
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 802.1 lb or 802.1 lg 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 52.
