CHECK IF YOUR ACCESS POINT HAS AN ASSOCIATION/REGISTRATION BUTTON Wireless broadband boxes in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa such as LiveBox, AliceBox, N9UF Box, FreeBox, or Club Internet may require you to press an association/registration button when adding the printer to your wireless network. If you are using one of these boxes and need more information, then see the documentation that came with your box, or contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). MOVE YOUR ACCESS POINT AWAY FROM OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES There may be temporary interference from electronic devices such as microwave ovens or other appliances, cordless phones, baby monitors, and security system cameras. Make sure your access point is not positioned too closely to these devices. MOVE THE COMPUTER AND/OR PRINTER CLOSER TO THE ACCESS POINT The range of your wireless network depends on many factors, including the abilities of your access point and network adapters. If you are having trouble printing, then try placing the computer and printer no more than 100 feet apart. CHECK THE WIRELESS SIGNAL QUALITY Print a network setup page and check the signal quality. If the signal quality is listed as good or excellent, then another factor is causing the problem. CHECK YOUR ADVANCED SECURITY SETTINGS • If you are using MAC (Media Access Control) address filtering to limit access to your wireless network, then you must add the printer MAC address to the list of addresses allowed to connect to the access point. • If you set the access point to issue a limited number of IP addresses, then you must change this so that the printer can be added. Note: If you do not know how to make these changes, then see the documentation that came with the access point, or contact the person who set up your wireless network. MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER IS CONNECTED TO YOUR ACCESS POINT • See if you have access to the Internet by opening your Web browser and accessing any site. • If there are other computers or resources on your wireless network, then check to see if you can access them from your computer. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR 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. For Windows users 1 Obtain the SSID of the network that the computer is connected to. a Type the IP address of your access point into the address field of your Web browser. Troubleshooting 121
