Troubleshooting 154 Cannot print over wireless network If you encountered problems while installing, or if your printer does not appear in the printers folder or as a printer option when sending a print job, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the software. Before you reinstall the software, check the troubleshooting checklist, and then do the following: TURN THE ACCESS POINT (WIRELESS ROUTER) OFF AND THEN BACK ON Wait one minute for the printer and computer to reestablish the connection. This can sometimes refresh network connections and resolve connectivity issues. DISCONNECT FROM VPN SESSION When you are connected to another network through a VPN connection, you will not be able to access the printer over your wireless network. End your VPN session, and then try printing again. MAKE SURE DEMO MODE IS TURNED OFF Select printer features are not available when Demo Mode is turned on. From the printer control panel, navigate to: > Setup > OK > Demo Mode > OK > Off > OK CHECK YOUR WEP KEY OR WPA PASSPHRASE If your access point is using WEP security, then the WEP key should be: • Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9. or • Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a WEP key are case‑sensitive. If your access point is using WPA or WPA2 security, then the WPA passphrase should be: • Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9. or • From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case‑sensitive. Note: If you do not know this information, then see the documentation that came with the access point, or contact your system support person. 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).
