Checking the Connection (USB)
❏ Connect the USB cable securely to the printer and the computer.
❏ If you are using a USB hub, try to connect the printer directly to the computer.
❏ If the USB cable cannot be recognized, change the port, or change the USB cable.
❏ If the printer cannot print using a USB connection, try the following.
Disconnect the USB cable from the computer. Right-click on the printer icon displayed on the computer, and
then select Remove Device. Next, connect the USB cable to the computer and try a test print.
Re-set the USB connection by following the steps in this manual for changing the connection method to a
computer. See the related information link below for details.
Checking the Connection (Network)
❏ If you cannot print over a network, see the page that describes the network connection method from the
computer.
❏ If the printing speed is slow or printing pauses, there may be a connection problem with the network devices.
Move the printer closer to the access point, and then turn the access point off and then on. If this does not clear
the problem, see the documentation provided with your access point.
❏ When you have changed your access point or provider, try making network settings for the printer again.
Connect the computer or smart device to the same SSID as the printer.
❏ Turn off the devices you want to connect to the network. Wait for about 10 seconds, and then turn on the
devices in the following order; access point, computer or smart device, and then printer. Move the printer and
computer or smart device closer to the access point to help with radio wave communication, and then try to
make network settings again.
