Cannot Print or Scan The Printer Cannot Connect to the Network
❏ Example of connecting to different SSIDs
❏ Example of connecting to SSIDs with a different frequency range
A privacy separator on the wireless router is available.
Most wireless routers have a separator function that blocks communication between devices within the same SSID.
If you cannot communicate between the printer and the computer or smart device even if they are connected to
the same network, disable the separator function on the wireless router. See the manual provided with the wireless
router for details.
The IP address is incorrectly assigned.
If the IP address assigned to the printer is 169.254.XXX.XXX, and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, the IP address
may not be assigned correctly.
Select Settings > Network Settings > Advanced > TCP/IP on the printer's control panel, and then check the IP
address and the subnet mask assigned to the printer.
Restart the wireless router or reset the network settings for the printer.
