Configuration procedures:

●To configure wireless settings using the included network (LAN) cable, go to Configure a wireless network using the network (LAN) cable on page 13.

●To configure settings for a wired network, go to Configure settings for a wired network on page 17.

●To configure settings for an Apple Macintosh wireless computer, go to Use an Apple Macintosh wireless computer on page 18.

●To configure wireless settings without a network (LAN) cable, go to Configure a wireless network without a network (LAN) cable on page 18.

Configure a wireless network using the network (LAN) cable

For wireless operation, the print server needs to be connected to your wireless network before you can discover and install the printer on your PC or other network system.

You can configure the wireless settings with the included network (LAN) cable, which can be removed after you have completed configuring the wireless settings.

NOTE: HP recommends that you configure the wireless settings using a network (LAN) cable (wired). Although you can configure without a network cable (wireless), it is generally easier to configure using the included network (LAN) cable.

After connecting the cable, allow up to 30 seconds for the cable connection to be enabled. When disconnecting the cable after configuration, allow up to 30 seconds for the wireless connection to enable automatically.
