Additional printer setup 50 Connecting the printer to a wireless network using the Embedded Web Server Before you begin, make sure that: • Your printer is connected temporarily to an Ethernet network. • A wireless network adapter is installed in your printer and working properly. For more information, see the instruction sheet that came with the wireless network adapter. 1 Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field. Notes: • View the printer IP address on the printer control panel. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123. • If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly. 2 Click Settings > Network/Ports > Wireless. 3 Modify the settings to match the settings of your access point (wireless router). Note: Make sure to enter the correct SSID, security method, preshared key or passphrase, network mode, and channel. 4 Click Submit. 5 Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the Ethernet cable. Then wait for at least five seconds, and then turn the printer back on. 6 To verify if your printer is connected to the network, print a network setup page. Then in the Network Card [x] section, see if the status is Connected. Changing port settings after installing an internal solutions port Notes: • If the printer has a static IP address, then do not change the configuration. • If the computers are configured to use the network name instead of an IP address, then do not change the configuration. • If you are adding a wireless internal solutions port (ISP) to a printer previously configured for an Ethernet connection, then disconnect the printer from the Ethernet network. For Windows users 1 Open the printers folder. 2 From the shortcut menu of the printer with the new ISP, open the printer properties. 3 Configure the port from the list. 4 Update the IP address. 5 Apply the changes.
