Step 2. Check the wireless signal strength

If the strength of the signal for your wireless network or computer is weak or if there

is interference on the wireless network, the printer might not be able to detect the signal.

To determine the strength of the wireless signal, run the Wireless Network Test from the printer’s control panel. (For more information, see “Step 4. Run the Wireless Network Test” on Page 28).

If the Wireless Network Test indicates the signal is weak, try moving the printer closer to the wireless router.

Reducing interference

The following tips might help reduce the chances for interference in a wireless network:

•Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing cabinets, and other electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, as these objects can disrupt radio signals.

•Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures as these objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.

Step 3. Restart components of the wireless network

Turn off the router and the printer, and then turn them back on in this order: router first, and then the printer.

If you still are unable to connect, turn off the router, printer, and your computer, and then turn them back on in this order: router first, then the printer, and finally the computer.

Sometimes, turning off the power and then turning it back on will recover a network communication issue.

Step 4. Run the Wireless Network Test

For wireless networking issues, run the Wireless Test from the printer’s control panel:

1.Make sure the printer is turned on and paper is loaded in the tray.

2.Press the (Setup) button.

3.

Press the

or

buttons to select

 

Print Report, and then press OK.

4.Select Wireless Test, and then press OK.

If a problem is detected, the printed test report will include recommendations that might help solve the problem.
