MOVE THE COMPUTER AND/OR PRINTER CLOSER TO THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINT (WIRELESS ROUTER) The possible distance between devices in 802.11b or 802.11g networks is 300 feet, while the wireless network range potentially doubles in 802.11n networks. The range of your wireless network depends on many factors, including the abilities of your router and network adapters. If you are having trouble printing, try placing the computer and printer no more than 100 feet apart. You can find the strength of the network signal on the printer network setup page. CHECK MAC ADDRESS If your network uses MAC address filtering, make sure that you include the MAC address of the printer in the MAC address filter list. This will allow the printer to operate on the network. Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange during installation When the Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange, it indicates that the printer has been set up for wireless networking but cannot connect to the network for which it has been configured. The printer may be unable to join the network because of interference, its distance from the wireless access point (wireless router), or until its settings are changed. These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following: MAKE SURE THE ACCESS POINT IS ON Check the access point and, if necessary, turn it on. MOVE YOUR ACCESS POINT TO MINIMIZE INTERFERENCE There may be temporary interference from other 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.

If you are having trouble printing, try placing the computer and printer no more than 100 feet apart. You can find the signal strength of the network on the network setup page. CHECK YOUR WEP KEY OR WPA PASSPHRASE A WEP key or WPA passphrase is like a password. All devices on a WEP-secured wireless network must share the same WEP key, and all devices on a WPA-secured wireless network must share the same WPA passphrase. Note: Make sure you copy it exactly, including any capital letters, and store it in a safe place for future reference. Troubleshooting 145
