Change from a USB connection to a wireless network

If you first setup your printer and installed the software with a USB cable, directly connecting the printer to your computer, you can easily change to a wireless network connection. You will need a wireless 802.11b/g/n network that includes a wireless router or access point.

NOTE: The HP Officejet 4630 series only supports connections using 2.4GHz.

Before changing from a USB connection to a wireless network, make sure that:

●The printer is connected to your computer with the USB cable until you are prompted to disconnect the cable.

●The computer is connected to the wireless network that you intend to install the printer on.

To change from a USB connection to a wireless network

1.Depending on your operating system, do one of the following.

●Windows 8: On the Start screen, right-click an empty area on the screen, click All Apps on the app bar.

●Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP: From the computer desktop, click Start, select All Programs, click HP, and then click HP Officejet 4630 series.

2.Select Printer Setup & Software.

3.Select Convert a USB connected printer to wireless. Follow the on-screen instructions.
