Connecting the printer to a network Networking overview A network is a collection of devices such as computers, printers, Ethernet hubs, wireless access points, and routers connected together for communication through cables or through a wireless connection. A network can be wired, wireless, or designed to have both wired and wireless devices. Devices on a wired network use cables to communicate with each other. Devices on a wireless network use radio waves instead of cables to communicate with each other.
• Scenario 3: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without Internet • Scenario 4: Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet Scenario 1: Laptop and printer connected wirelessly with Internet • A computer is connected to a wireless router by an Ethernet cable. • A laptop and a printer are connected wirelessly to the router. • The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem.
Scenario 3: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without Internet • A computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected wirelessly to a wireless access point. • The network has no connection to the Internet. Scenario 4: Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet • A laptop is directly connected wirelessly to a printer without going through a wireless router. • The network has no connection to the Internet.
Setting up the printer The following instructions are for setting up the printer for the first time. After completing these steps, you do not need to set up the printer again if you want to use it on another computer. Note: You must complete these steps before you set up the printer on a network. 1 Unpack the printer. Note: Place the printer near the computer during setup. If you're setting up on a wireless network, you can move the printer after setup is complete.

Wireless Setup menu From here You can Network Name View the current Service Set Identifier (SSID) being used. An SSID is the name of a wireless local area network. You cannot change this menu item. Wireless Signal Quality Select a Wireless Signal Strength. TCP/IP menu Internet Protocol (IP) specifies the format of packets, also called datagrams, and the addressing scheme. Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
Configure IP address If you have lost communication with the printer over a network, select Use DHCP to reestablish communication with the printer. You must assign an IP address in any of the following situations: • • • • You manually assigned IP addresses for the other network devices. You want to assign a specific IP address. You move the printer to a remote subnet. The printer is listed as Unconfigured in the Configuration Utility. Contact your system support person for more information.
If your printer has a factory-installed internal print server, the MAC address is a series of letters and numbers located on the back of your printer. UAA: UAA: XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX If you purchased the print server separately, the MAC address appears on an adhesive label that came with the print server. Attach the adhesive label to your printer so you will be able to find the MAC address when you need it.
Finding a printer/print server located on remote subnets The printer software CD can automatically find the printers that are located on the same network as the computer. If the printer and print server are located on another network (called a subnet), you must manually enter an IP address during printer software installation. Wireless networking Types of wireless networks Wireless networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure or ad hoc.
Information you will need to set up the printer on a wireless network To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to: • Know the name of your wireless network. This is also known as the Service Set Identifier (SSID). If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, launch the wireless utility of your computer’s network adapter and look for the network name, or consult the person who set up your wireless network.
