A valid, unique IP address for the printer to use on the network
The network gateway
The network mask
A nickname for the printer (optional)
Note:
A printer nickname makes it easier to identify your printer on the network.
You need an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network and an available port where the printer can
physically connect to the network. Use a new network cable when possible to avoid potential problems caused
by a damaged cable.
Preparing to set up the printer on a wireless network
Notes:
Make sure that your wireless network adapter is installed in your printer and working properly. For more
information, see the instruction sheet that came with the adapter.
The wireless network adapter is standard in some printer models.
Make sure that your access point (wireless router) is turned on and working properly.
Make sure to have the following information:
SSID
—The SSID is also referred to as the network name.
Wireless Mode (or Network Mode)
—The mode is either infrastructure or ad hoc.
