Additional printer setup

Connecting the printer to a wireless network using the Embedded Web Server

Before you begin, make sure that:
•
Your printer is connected temporarily to an Ethernet network.
•
A wireless network adapter is installed in your printer and working properly. For more information, see the
instruction sheet that came with the wireless network adapter.
1
Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
Notes:
• View the printer IP address on the printer control panel. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers
separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
•
If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.
2
Click Settings > Network/Ports > Wireless.
3
Modify the settings to match the settings of your access point (wireless router).
Note: Make sure to enter the correct SSID, security method, preshared key or passphrase, network mode, and
channel.
4
Click Submit.
5
Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the Ethernet cable. Then wait for at least five seconds, and then turn the
printer back on.
6
To verify if your printer is connected to the network, print a network setup page. Then in the Network Card [x]
section, see if the status is Connected.

Changing port settings after installing a new network ISP

Notes:
•
If the printer has a static IP address, then you do not need to make any changes.
•
If the computers are configured to use the network name, instead of an IP address, then you do not need to
make any changes.
• If you are adding a wireless ISP to a printer previously configured for an Ethernet connection, then make sure
the printer is disconnected from the Ethernet network.
