RUN THE WIRELESS SETUP AGAIN

If your wireless settings have changed, you must run the printer wireless setup again. Some reasons your settings may have changed include your having manually changed your WEP or WPA keys, channel, or other network settings; or the access point having been reset to factory defaults.

Running the wireless setup again can also resolve issues due to misconfigurations that occurred when configuring the printer for wireless access.

Notes:

If you change network settings, change them on all the network devices before changing them for the access point.

If you have already changed the wireless network settings on your access point, then you must change the settings on all the other network devices before you can see them on the network.

1 Do one of the following:

In Windows Vista, click RUN THE WIRELESS SETUP AGAIN.

In Windows XP and earlier, click Start.

2Click All Programs or Programs, and then select the printer program folder from the list.

3Click Tools Lexmark Wireless Setup Utility.

Note: You may be prompted to connect the printer to the computer again using the installation cable as part of the setup process.

4Follow the instructions on the computer screen.

Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange during installation (Macintosh only)

When the Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange, it indicates that the printer has been set up for wireless networking but cannot connect to the network for which it has been configured. The printer may be unable to join the network because of interference, its distance from the wireless access point (wireless router), or until its settings are changed.

These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

MAKE SURE THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINT IS ON

Check the wireless access point and, if necessary, turn it on.

MOVE YOUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT TO MINIMIZE INTERFERENCE

There may be temporary interference from other devices such as microwave ovens or other appliances, cordless phones, baby monitors, and security system cameras. Make sure the wireless access point is not positioned too closely to these devices.

TRY ADJUSTING EXTERNAL ANTENNAS

Antennas usually work best if they are pointing straight up. You may find that reception improves if you experiment with different angles for the printer and/or wireless access point antennas.
