CHECK YOUR ADVANCED SECURITY SETTINGS

If you are using MAC address filtering to limit access to your wireless network, then you must add the printer MAC address to the list of addresses allowed to connect to the wireless access point.

If you set the wireless access point to issue a limited number of IP addresses, then you must change this so that the printer can be added.

Note: If you do not know how to make these changes, then see the documentation that came with the wireless network, or contact the person who set up your wireless network.

Try the following solutions in the order they appear until the Continue button becomes active and can be clicked:

CHECK IF THE USB CABLE IS SECURELY PLUGGED INTO THE USB PORTS ON BOTH THE COMPUTER AND THE PRINTER

USB ports are marked with the symbol.

MAKE SURE THAT THE PRINTER IS PLUGGED IN AND TURNED ON

Check to see if the button is lit. If you have just turned on the printer, then you might need to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it.

MAKE SURE THAT THE USB PORT ON THE COMPUTER IS WORKING

Test the USB port by connecting other devices to it. If you can successfully use other devices from the port, then the port is working.

If the USB port on the computer is not working, then try using the other USB ports on the computer.

MAKE SURE THAT THE USB CABLE IS WORKING

Try using a different USB cable. If you are using a cable longer than 10 feet, then try using a shorter cable.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE USING THE CORRECT CD FOR YOUR PRINTER MODEL

Compare the printer model on the CD to the printer model on the printer. The numbers should either match exactly or be within the same series.

If you have any doubts, look for an updated version of the printer software on our Web site. For more information, see “Installing the printer software” in the User's Guide. You can access the User's Guide from the link at the bottom of the installation screen.
