Make sure computer network settings are correct.
Make sure the computer can communicate with the wireless router over the wireless LAN.
Check9
Make sure machine is not placed too far away from the wireless router.
Place the wireless router and machine where there are no obstacles between them. Wireless communication
between different rooms or floors is generally poor. Wireless communication can be impeded by building
materials containing metal or concrete. If the machine cannot communicate with the computer over a wireless
LAN due to a wall, place the machine and the computer in the same room.
In addition, if a device like a microwave oven that emits radio waves of the same frequency bandwidth as a
wireless router is nearby, it may cause interference. Place the wireless router as far away from interference
sources as possible.
Check10
Make sure wireless signal is strong. Monitor signal status and move machine
and wireless router as necessary.
