Scenario 2: Wireless network with Internet access • All computers and printers connect to the network using a wireless access point or wireless router. • The wireless access point connects the network to the Internet through a DSL or cable modem. Scenario 3: Wireless network with no Internet access • Computers and printers connect to the network using a wireless access point. • The network has no connection to the Internet.
Scenario 4: Computer connected wirelessly to a printer without Internet access • A computer is directly connected to a printer without going through a wireless router. • This configuration is referred to as an ad hoc network. • The network has no connection to the Internet. Note: Most computers can connect to only one wireless network at a time. If you access the Internet over a wireless connection, you will lose Internet access if you are connect to an ad hoc network.
2 Attach the small, square connector to the printer. 3 Continue following the on-screen instructions. How are infrastructure and ad hoc networks different? Wireless networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure or ad hoc. In infrastructure mode, all devices on a wireless network communicate with each other through a wireless router (wireless access point).
Infrastructure mode is the recommended setup method because it provides: • • • • Increased network security Increased reliability Faster performance Easier setup Finding the signal strength Wireless devices have built-in antennas that transmit and receive radio signals. The signal strength listed on the printer network setup page indicates how strongly a transmitted signal is being received. Many factors can affect the signal strength.
REMOVE SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE Other types of radio frequencies can cause problems with the wireless signal on your network. These sources of interference can cause printing issues that seem to come and go. Turn off potential sources of interference where possible. Avoid using microwaves and cordless phones when printing over your wireless network. If another wireless network is operating in the vicinity, change the wireless channel on the access point.
3 Compare the SSID of the computer and SSID of the printer. If the SSIDs are the same, then the computer and the printer are connected to the same wireless network. If the SSIDs are not the same, then run the utility again to set up the printer on the wireless network used by the computer. For Macintosh users with an AirPort base station In Mac OS X version 10.5 1 From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences. 2 Click Network. 3 Click AirPort.
Can I use my printer on a USB and a network connection at the same time? Yes; the printer supports a simultaneous USB and network connection.

d In the network address field, typethe IP address of the wireless access point (or router). For example: 10.168.1.101 e Click Ping. 4 If the wireless access point responds, you will see several lines that display the number of bytes received from the wireless access point. This ensures that your computer is connected to the wireless access point. If the wireless access point does not respond, then nothing is displayed. You can use Network Diagnostics to help resolve the problem.
If the printer does not respond, then nothing is displayed. • Your computer might not be connected to the network. You can use Network Diagnostics to help resolve the problem. • You may need to change the settings of your printer. Run the Wireless Setup Assistant again. CONFIGURE THE PRINTER FOR WIRELESS ACCESS AGAIN If your wireless settings have changed, you must run the printer wireless setup again.
“Communication not available” message displays when printing wirelessly These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following: MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER AND PRINTER HAVE VALID IP ADDRESSES FOR THE NETWORK If you are using a laptop and have power saving settings enabled, you may see the ”Communication not available” message on your computer screen when you attempt to print wirelessly. This can occur if the laptop hard drive has powered down.
• Temporarily turn off any unnecessary wireless devices on your network and pause any network-intensive activities, like large file transfers or network games. If the network is too busy, it is possible that the printer is not receiving the IP address within the allowed time. • Make sure your DHCP server, which may also be your wireless router, is working and is configured to assign IP addresses.
Resolving intermittent wireless communications issues You may notice that your printer works for a short time and then stops working, although apparently nothing has changed on your wireless network. Many different issues can interrupt network communications, and sometimes more than one problem exists at the same time. These are possible solutions.
CONFIGURE THE WIRELESS ROUTER WITH A UNIQUE SSID Many wireless networks use the SSID that the router was originally configured by the manufacturer to use. Using the default SSID can cause problems when more than one network is operating in the same area with the same SSID. The printer or computer may attempt to attach to the wrong network, although it will appear to be trying to connect to the correct network. To avoid this type of interference, change the SSID on your wireless router from the default.
CHECK FOR WIRELESS ADAPTER UPDATES If you are having trouble printing from one particular computer, check the Web site of the manufacturer of the network adapter card in that computer. It is possible that there is an updated driver available that could resolve the issue. CHANGE ALL NETWORK DEVICES TO THE SAME TYPE While it is possible to successfully mix 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices on the same wireless network, the faster devices will sometimes prevent the slower devices from communicating.
