UN THE WIRELESS SETUP AGAIN
If your wireless settings have changed, you must run the printer wireless setup again. Some reasons
your settings may have changed include your having manually changed your WEP or WPA keys, channel,
or other network settings; or the access point having been reset to factory defaults.
Running the wireless setup again can also resolve issues due to misconfigurations that occurred when
configuring the printer for wireless access.
Notes:
•
If you change network settings, change them on all the network devices before changing them for
the access point.

Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange during installation
(Macintosh only)
When the Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange, it indicates that the printer has been set up for wireless
networking but cannot connect to the network for which it has been configured. The printer may be unable
to join the network because of interference, its distance from the wireless access point (wireless router),
or until its settings are changed.
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
M
AKE SURE THE ACCESS POINT IS ON
Check the access point and, if necessary, turn it on.
M
OVE YOUR ACCESS POINT TO MINIMIZE INTERFERENCE
There may be temporary interference from other devices such as microwave ovens or other appliances,
cordless phones, baby monitors, and security system cameras. Make sure the access point is not
positioned too closely to these devices.
