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.

Wi-Fi indicator light is orange

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 148.

Move your computer and/or printer

Move the computer and/or printer closer to the wireless access point (wireless router). Although the possible distance between devices in 802.11b or 802.11g networks is 300 feet, the effective range for optimal performance is generally 100–150 feet.

You can find the signal strength of the network on the network setup page. For information on how to print a setup page, see “Printing a network setup page” on page 52.
