CHECK YOUR WEP KEY OR WPA PASSPHRASE

If your access point is using WEP security, then the WEP key should be:

•Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9. or

•Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a WEP key are case-sensitive.

If your access point is using WPA or WPA2 security, then the WPA passphrase should be:

•Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9. or

•From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.

Note: If you do not know this information, then see the documentation that came with the wireless network, or contact the person who set up your wireless network.

CHECK IF YOUR ACCESS POINT HAS AN ASSOCIATION/REGISTRATION BUTTON

Wireless broadband boxes in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa such as LiveBox, AliceBox, N9UF Box, FreeBox, or Club Internet may require you to press an association/registration button when adding the printer to your wireless network.

If you are using one of these boxes and need more information, then see the documentation that came with your box, or contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

MOVE YOUR ACCESS POINT AWAY FROM OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES

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

MOVE THE COMPUTER AND/OR PRINTER CLOSER TO THE ACCESS POINT

The range of your wireless network depends on many factors, including the abilities of your access point and network adapters. If you are having trouble printing, then try placing the computer and printer no more than 100 feet apart.

CHECK THE WIRELESS SIGNAL QUALITY

Print a network setup page and check the signal quality. If the signal quality is listed as good or excellent, then another factor is causing the problem.

CHECK YOUR ADVANCED SECURITY SETTINGS

•If you are using MAC (Media Access Control) address filtering to limit access to your wireless network, then you must add the printer MAC address to the list of addresses allowed to connect to the access point.

•If you set the access point to issue a limited number of IP addresses, then you must change this so that the printer can be added.

Note: If you do not know how to make these changes, then see the documentation that came with the access point, or contact the person who set up your wireless network.
