Wireless Signal Indicator Description
SIGNAL STRENGTH and
SIGNAL QUALITY
When these indicators display percentages, the wireless radio card is
communicating with the network. The higher the number is, the better
the connection is between the printer and the network.
If your printer indicates a signal strength but you cannot communicate
with the printer from your computer, move the printer to a different
location to try to get a better signal strength or signal quality. This
situation could also indicate that the printer is associated with, but not
authenticated with, your access point.
NOISE LEVEL This number indicates any electrical interference with the wireless
signal.
If your printer cannot communicate with the network and the noise level
is high, move the printer to a location that is free of interference.
