Interpreting the colors of the Wi-Fi indicator light

The Wi-Fi indicator light helps you determine the network status of the printer.

The following describes what the colors of the Wi-Fi indicator light mean.

•Off may indicate that the printer is off, the printer is in the initial power up state, the internal print server is not installed, or the internal print server is not properly connected.

The light should be in this state:

–When the printer is turned off

–When the printer is connected to a router using an Ethernet cable

–When the printer does not have an internal print server installed and you want to connect the printer to the computer using a USB cable

•Orange may indicate that the printer is currently connected to the computer with a USB cable, the printer is being configured for use on the wireless network, the internal print server is not configured in infrastructure mode, or the internal print server is waiting to be configured for ad hoc mode.

The light should be in this state:

–When you want to use the printer without a computer

–When you want to set up the printer on your wireless network

•Blinking orange may indicate that:

–The printer is out of the range of the wireless access point (wireless router).

–The printer is trying to communicate with the wireless access point (wireless router), but the wireless access point (wireless router) may be turned off or not working properly.

–The printer is trying to establish communication with the wireless access point (wireless router).

This is true if you have already configured the printer for use on your wireless network. When the printer has been configured, any time you turn the printer off and then turn it back on, the internal print server in the printer will try to connect to your wireless access point (wireless router).

–The wireless settings of the printer may no longer be valid.

•Green indicates that the printer is connected to a wireless network.

The light should be in this state when you want to start using the printer that is already set up on your wireless network.

•Blinking green indicates that the printer's internal printer server is being updated.
