Wireless Signal Indicator Description
These bars indicate relative strength of the wireless signal. The more bars
shown, the better the connection is between the printer and the network.
If your printer indicates a signal strength but you cannot communicate with
the printer from your computer, move the printer to a different location to
try to get a better signal strength or signal quality. This situation could also
indicate that the printer is associated with, but not authenticated with, your
access point.
