For wireless network interface users

Before You Begin
First you must configure the wireless
network settings of your printer to
communicate with your network access
point/router. After the printer is configured
to communicate with your access point/
router, computers on your network will
have access to the printer. To use the
printer from these computers, you will need
to install the drivers and software. The
following steps will guide you through the
configuration and installation process.
• If you are going to connect the printer
to your network, we recommend that
you contact your system
administrator prior to installation. You
must know your wireless network
settings before you proceed with this
installation.
• If you have previously configured the
printer's wireless settings, you must
reset the network settings before you
can configure the wireless settings
again.
1 Turn the power OFF.
2 Press and hold the Cut button
while holding down the ON/OFF
button. The Wi-Fi lamp starts
flashing green and the Status
lamp lights orange.
3 Press the Cut button twice while
holding down the ON/OFF button.
The Wi-Fi lamp lights green and
the Status lamp lights orange.
To achieve optimum results with
normal everyday document printing,
use the printer as close to the network
access point/router as possible with
minimal obstructions. Large objects
and walls between the two devices
as well as interference from other
electronic devices can affect the data
transfer speed of your documents.
Due to these factors, wireless may
not be the best method of connection
for all types of documents and
applications. The maximum
processing speed is possible when
using USB.
