Set up wireless (802.11) communication

Complete the following steps in the order listed to establish a wireless connection to the printer.

Step 1: Install software for your printer

English

To set up wireless communication, run the installation program from the HP software CD provided with the printer. The installation program installs the software and creates a wireless connection.

Note: Before you set up wireless communication,

make sure the printer hardware is set up. For more information, see the setup poster that came with the printer or instructions on the printer’s control panel display.

Follow the instructions for your operating system.

1.Place the HP software CD into the computer, and then follow the onscreen instructions.

Note: If the firewall software on your computer displays any messages during the installation, select the “always permit/allow” option in the messages. Selecting this option allows the software to install successfully on your computer.

2.Follow the instructions for your operating system.

Windows: When prompted, click Network (Ethernet/Wireless), and then follow the onscreen instructions.

Mac OS X: Double-click the HP Installer icon on the software CD, and then follow the onscreen instructions.

3.If prompted, enter the wireless network name and password.

What is my wireless network name and password?

While you are installing the software, you will be prompted to enter the wireless network name (also called an “SSID”) and a wireless password:

The wireless network name is the name of your wireless network.

Depending on the level of security required, your wireless network might use either a WPA key or WEP passphrase.

If you have not changed the wireless network name or the wireless password since setting up your wireless network, you can sometimes find them on the back or side of the wireless router.

In addition, if you are using a computer running Windows, HP provides a tool called HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility that can help retrieve this information for some systems. To use this tool, visit the HP Wireless Printing Center (www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting), and then

click Network Diagnostic Utility in the Quick Links section. (At this time, this tool might not available in all languages.)

If you cannot find the wireless network name and password or cannot remember this information, see the documentation available with your computer or with the wireless router. If you still cannot find this information, contact your network administrator or the person who set up the wireless network.

For more information about the network connections types, the wireless network name, and the wireless password (WPA passphrase, WEP key), see the user guide.
