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 wireless access point (wireless router) having been reset to factory defaults.

Notes:

•If you change network settings, change them on all the network devices before changing them for the wireless access point (wireless router).

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

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

Check cable

Make sure the installation cable is not connected to the printer.

Configure the optional internal wireless print server

Note: This solution does not apply to printers that have a pre-installed internal wireless print server.

If you purchased the optional internal wireless print server after your printer was already set up, see “Configuring the optional internal wireless print server” in the “Setting up the printer” chapter.

Check network name

Make sure your network does not have the same name as another network near you. For example, if you and your neighbor both use a manufacturer's default network name, your printer could be connecting to your neighbor's network.

If you are not using a unique network name, consult the documentation for your wireless access point (wireless router) to learn how to set a network name.

If you set a new network name, you must reset the printer and computer SSID to the same network name.

For more information, see “Checking your network name” in the “Wireless troubleshooting” section.

Check security keys

Make sure security keys are correct. For more information, see “Check your security keys” on page 142.
