a Preparation for Connection
Before Starting Wireless Connection Setup
1. Make sure that the printer is turned on.
If the power is on, the POWER lamp (A) will be lit.
Notes on Wireless Connection
Make sure that the computer is connected to the access point (A) (or wireless network router) you want to connect your
printer to.
•
The configuration, router functions, setup procedures and security settings of the network device vary depending on your
system environment. For details, refer to the manual of your network device or contact its manufacturer.
Check if your device supports IEEE802.11n, 802.11g or 802.11b.
If your device is set to the "IEEE802.11 n only" mode, WEP or TKIP cannot be used as a security protocol. Change the
security protocol for your device to something other than WEP and TKIP or change the setting to something other than
"IEEE802.11 n only."

•
For office use, consult your network administrator.
Take added care when connecting to a network that is not protected with security measures, as there is a risk of disclosing
data such as your personal information to a third party.
•
•
An "Ad-hoc connection," which establishes a direct connection to the computer over a wireless connection without an
access point, is not supported. Be sure to prepare an access point.

point or contact its manufacturer.
When the (blue) Wi-Fi lamp flashes quickly and the (orange) Alarm lamp is lit:
• Is the network device (router, etc.) turned on? If the network device is already turned on, turn it off, then turn it back
on.
• Are the computer and network device configured?
• Are the access point and printer installed in an open space where wireless communications are possible?
• Is the access point operating in IEEE802.11n (2.4 GHz), IEEE802.11g or IEEE802.11b?
Wait for a while, then bring the access point and printer close to each other, and configure wireless connection
settings again within a specified time.
For details on how to check the settings of the access point, refer to the manual supplied with the access point or
contact its manufacturer.
