What is my fax number? In most cases, your telephone number is also your fax number. If you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) service offered by telephone companies, then your fax number is the number that you assigned to the printer. Make sure that you enter the correct distinctive ring pattern for that number in the fax software or in the Fax Setup menu of the printer control panel.
How do I set the distinctive ring for the printer? Setting the correct ring is important if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature offered by telephone companies. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring pattern (a single ring, a double ring, a triple ring). The different ring patterns let you know what telephone number was dialed, and what device you should use to answer the call.
How do I adjust the speaker volume on the printer? Listen to the dial tone to check if the telephone line is working and to check if the cables and devices are connected properly in your telephone network. Make sure that the dialing volume is not set to Off, especially if you are dialing a number on hook. If you set the printer to receive faxes manually, then make sure that you set the ringer volume loud enough for you to hear it. Adjusting the dialing volume 1 From the printer control panel, press .

Networking Installing the printer on a wireless network Wireless network compatibility Your printer contains an IEEE 802.11n wireless print server. Your printer is compatible with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n routers that are Wi-Fi certified. Supported network security options The printer supports three wireless security options: no security, WEP, and WPA/WPA2. No Security It is not recommended to use no security at all on a home wireless network.
Every device on the wireless network must use the same WPA passphrase. WPA security is an option only on infrastructure networks with wireless access points and network cards that support WPA. Most newer wireless network equipment also offers WPA2 security as an option. Note: If your network uses WPA or WPA2 security, then select WPA Personal when you are prompted to select the type of security your network uses.
Installing the printer on a wireless network Before you install the printer on a wireless network, make sure that: • Your wireless network is set up and working properly. • The computer you are using is connected to the same wireless network where you want to set up the printer. For Windows users 1 Close all open software programs. 2 Insert the installation software CD. If the Welcome screen does not appear after a minute, then launch the CD manually: a Click , or click Start and then click Run.
4 Select My printer is already set up. I am installing it on a new computer. 5 Click Continue, and then follow the instructions on the computer screen for installing a configured printer on a new computer. Interpreting the colors of the Wi-Fi indicator light The colors of the Wi-Fi indicator light show the network status of the printer. • Off means one of the following: – The printer is turned off or is powering up. – The printer is not connected to a wireless network and is in Power Saver mode.
If your wireless network does not appear in the list: a Connect to another wireless network. For Windows users Click Unlisted Network. For Macintosh users Select Other Wireless Network, and then click Continue. b Enter the details about your wireless network. Note: Your WEP, WPA, or WPA2 key may be obtained from the bottom of the box, the user’s guide that came with the box, or from the box Web page. If you have already changed the key for your wireless network, use the key you created.

Where do I find my WEP key or WPA passphrase? To find the WEP key or WPA passphrase for the wireless network, view the security settings on the access point or wireless router. Most access points have a Web page that can be accessed using a Web browser. You can also check the manual that came with your access point or router. If your access point or router is using the default settings, you can find the information in the manual.
How do I find out what type of security my network is using? You must know the WEP key or WPA passphrase and the type of security (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) used on the wireless network. To obtain this information, see the documentation that came with your wireless access point (wireless router), see the Web page associated with the wireless access point, or consult your system support person. Note: The WEP key or WPA passphrase is not the same as the password for the wireless access point.
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. Internet 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.
The installation cable connects to a rectangular USB port on the installing computer and the square USB port on the printer. How do I attach the installation cable? The installation cable attaches to a USB port on the computer and to the square connector on the back of the printer. This connection allows you to configure the printer for a networked or locally attached installation. 1 Attach the large, rectangular connector to any USB port on your computer.
The following table compares the characteristics and requirements of the two types of wireless networks.
How can I improve wireless signal strength? A common reason wireless printers fail to communicate over a network is poor wireless signal quality. If the signal is too weak, too distorted, or blocked by an object, it cannot carry information between the access point and the printer. To determine if the printer is receiving a strong signal from the access point, print a network setup page. The Quality field indicates the relative strength of the wireless signal the printer is receiving.
How can I make sure my computer and printer are connected to the same wireless network? If the printer is not on the same wireless network as the computer, then you will not be able to print wirelessly. The SSID of the printer must match the SSID of the computer, if the computer is already connected to the wireless network.
In Mac OS X version 10.4 or earlier 1 From the Finder, navigate to: Applications > Internet Connect > AirPort The SSID of the network that the computer is connected to is displayed in the Network menu. 2 Write down the SSID. For Macintosh users with an access point 1 Type the IP address of the access point in the address field of your Web browser and continue to step 2.
Routers with security capabilities may allow filtering of MAC addresses on networks. This allows a managed list of devices to access the network, identified by their MAC addresses. MAC address filtering can help prevent access on the network from unwanted devices, such as from intruders on a wireless network. MAC address filtering can also prevent legitimate access if you forget to add a new device to the router's list of allowed addresses.
What is TCP/IP? Networks are able to function because computers, printers, and other devices are able to send data to each other, either through cables or by using wireless signals. This transfer of data is made possible by sets of data transmission rules called protocols. A protocol can be thought of as a language, and like a language, it has rules allowing participants to communicate with each other.
What is a key index? A wireless access point (wireless router) can be configured with as many as four WEP keys. Only one key is used on the network at a time, however. The keys are numbered, and the number of a key is referred to as its key index. All devices on the wireless network must be configured to use the same key index when multiple WEP keys are configured on the wireless access point. Select the same key index on your printer as you are using on your wireless access point.
Maintaining the printer Maintaining ink cartridges In addition to the following tasks that you can perform, your printer performs an automatic maintenance cycle every week if it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
