Ethernet port USB port Verifying printer setup Once all hardware and software options are installed and the printer is turned on, verify that the printer is set up correctly by printing the following: • Menu settings pages—Use these pages to verify that all printer options are installed correctly. A list of installed options appears toward the bottom of the page.
After the menu settings pages print, Ready appears. Printing a network setup page If the printer is attached to a network, print a network setup page to verify the network connection. This page also provides important information that aids network printing configuration.
Updating available options in the printer driver Once the printer software and any options are installed, it may be necessary to manually add the options in the printer driver to make them available for print jobs. For Windows users Do one of the following:...
WPA includes encryption as an additional layer of security. The choices are AES or TKIP. Encryption must be set for the same type on the router and on the printer, or the printer will not be able to communicate on the network.
Page 30
Connect the cables in the following order: Temporarily connect a USB cable between the computer on the wireless network and the printer. Note: After the printer is configured, the software will instruct you to disconnect the temporary USB cable so you can print wirelessly.

How does the printer know what color to print? When a user prints a document, information describing the type and color of each object is sent to the printer. The color information is passed through color conversion tables that translate the color into the appropriate amounts of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toner needed to produce the desired color.
Page 153
What is manual color correction? When manual color correction is enabled, the printer employs user-selected color conversion tables to process objects. However, Color Correction must be set to Manual, or no user-defined color conversion will be implemented.

How can I match a particular color (such as a corporate logo)? From the printer Quality menu, nine types of Color Samples sets are available. These are also available from the Color Samples page of the Embedded Web Server. Selecting any sample set generates a multiple-page printout consisting of hundreds of colored boxes.
You need to know your printer model type and serial number. For more information, see the label on the inside top front cover of the printer. The serial number is also listed on the menu settings page.
