Installing an internal wireless print server

The printer you purchased may contain an internal wireless print server that allows the printer to be used on a wireless network. If your printer does not have an internal wireless print server already installed, you can purchase one separately. Use the following instructions to install the internal wireless print server:

1Turn off your printer, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Warning: Failure to unplug the printer can cause damage to your printer and to the internal wireless print server. Make sure the printer is turned off and the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before you proceed.

2Remove the back cover plate by pushing the tab down and then pulling the cover away from the printer.

5Make sure the antenna points up.

6Attach the adhesive label with the MAC address to the back of the printer. You will need this later to network the printer.
