About your printer
Thank you for choosing this printer!
We've worked hard to make sure it will meet your needs.
To start using your new printer right away, use the setup materials that came with the printer, and then skim the
User’s Guide to learn how to perform basic tasks. To get the most out of your printer, read the User’s Guide carefully,
and make sure you check the latest updates on our Web site.
We're committed to delivering performance and value with our printers, and we want to make sure you're satisfied.
Ifyou do encounter any problems alongthe way, one of our knowledgeable support representatives will be delighted
to help you get back on track fast. And if you find something we could do better, please let us know. After all, you
are the reason we do what we do, and your suggestions help us do it better.
Minimizing your printer's environmental impact
We are committed to protecting the environment and are continually improving our printers to reduce their
environmental impact. By selecting certain printer settings or tasks, you may be able to reduce your printer's
environmental impact even further.
Conserving energy
• Activate Eco-Mode. This feature sets the screen brightness to low and sets the printer to change to Power Saver
mode after the printer is left idle for 10 minutes.
• Select the lowest Power Saver timeout. The Power Saver feature puts the printer in a minimum-power standby
mode after the printer has been idle for a set amount of time (the Power Saver timeout).
• Share your printer. Wireless/network printers allow you to share a single printer among multiple computers,
thus conserving energy and other resources.
Conserving paper
• Activate Eco-Mode. On selected printer models, this feature sets the printer to automatically print on both sides
of the paper (duplex) for copy and fax jobs and for printing in Windows.
• Print more than one page image on one side of the paper. The “Pages per sheet” feature allows you to print
multiple pages on one sheet. You can print up to 8 page images on one side of a sheet of paper.
• Print on both sides of the paper. Duplexing lets you print on both sides of the paper manually or automatically
(depending on your printer model).
• Preview print jobs before printing. Use the preview features found in Toolbars, the Print or Print Preview dialog,
or the printer display (depending on your printer model).
• Scan and save. To avoid printing multiple copies, you can scan documents or photographs and save them to a
computer program, application, or flash drive for presentation.
• Use recycled paper.
About your printer

Conserving ink
• Use Quick Print or Draft Mode. These modes can be used to print documents using less ink than normal and
are ideal for printing documents that are mostly text.
• Use High Yield cartridges. Inks in High-Yield cartridges allow you to print more pages with fewer cartridges.
• Clean the printhead. Before replacing and recycling your ink cartridges, try using the “Clean Printhead” and
“Deep Clean Printhead” features. These features clean the printhead nozzles to improve the quality of your prints.
Recycling
• Return ink cartridges for reuse or recycling through the Lexmark Cartridge Collection Program. To return
an ink cartridge, go to www.lexmark.com/recycle. Follow the instructions to request a postage-paid bag.
• Recycle the product packaging.
• Recycle your old printer instead of throwing it away.
• Recycle paper from discarded print jobs.
• Use recycled paper.

Scanning FAQ
How can I improve the quality of a scan?
• Make sure your original documents are in good condition.
• Make sure the application that receives the scanned document is appropriate. For example, if you are scanning
a photo to edit it, then make sure you choose a photo editing application to receive the scan. If you are scanning
a document to edit the text, then make sure you choose an OCR application.
• Use a high resolution.
How do I scan in black and white?
Color is the default for all scans. To scan in black and white, press the Color/Black button on the printer control panel
to switch from color to black and white.
Why am I being asked for a PIN?
PINs are a security measure used to restrict the scanned information from going into certain locations, or to keep
what is being scanned from being seen or used by others. You may be prompted to enter a PIN if the network
computer you are scanning to requires one.
To learn how PINs get assigned to network computers, see the Help for the printer software associated with your
operating system.
What is an application list, and how do I update it?
When you scan a file, you can choose which application to use to open it on your computer. The printer downloads
this application list from your computer when scanning for the first time. If you do not see the application you want
on the list, or if you install new applications on your computer, then update the application list in the printer.

Networking
Installing the printer on a wireless network
Wireless network compatibility
Your printer contains an IEEE 802.11g wireless print server. Your printer is compatible with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n routers
that are Wi-Fi certified. If you are having issues with an n router, verify with your router manufacturer that the current
mode setting is compatible with g devices, as this setting varies depending on the router brand/model.
Supported network security options
The printer supports three wireless security options: no security, WEP, and WPA/WPA2.
No Security
It is not recommended to use no security at all on a home wireless network. Using no security means that anyone
within range of your wireless network can use your network resources—including Internet access, if your wireless
network is connected to the Internet. The range of your wireless network may extend far beyond the walls of your
home, allowing access to your network from the street or from your neighbors’ homes.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is the most basic and the weakest type of wireless security. WEP security relies on a
series of characters called the WEP key.
Every device on the wireless network must use the same WEP key. WEP security can be used on both ad hoc and
infrastructure networks.
A valid WEP key has:
• 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, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
WPA/WPA2
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) offer stronger wireless network security than WEP.
WPA and WPA2 are similar types of security. WPA2 uses a more complex encryption method and is more secure than
WPA. Both WPA and WPA2 use a series of characters, called the WPA pre-shared key or passphrase, to protect wireless
networks from unauthorized access.
A valid WPA passphrase has:
• From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
• Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
Networking
65
Every device on the wireless network must use the same WPA passphrase. WPA security is an option only on
infrastructure networks with wireless access points and network cards that support WPA. Most newer wireless
network equipment also offers WPA2 security as an option.
Note: If your network uses WPA or WPA2 security, then select WPA Personal when you are prompted to select the
type of security your network uses.
Printing a network setup page
A network setup page lists the configuration settings of the printer, including the IP address and MAC address of the
printer.
1 Load plain paper.
2 From the printer control panel, press

3 Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Network Setup, and then press
.
4 Press to select Print Setup Page.
The network setup page prints.
Information you will need to set up the printer on a wireless
network
To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to know:
• The name of your wireless network. This is also known as the Service Set Identifier (SSID).
• If encryption was used to secure your network.
• The security key (either a WEP key or WPA passphrase) that allows other devices to communicate on the network
if encryption was used to secure your network.
You can locate your network WEP key or WPA passphrase by accessing your wireless access point or router and
checking the security information.
If your wireless access point (wireless router) is using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security, 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, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
If your wireless access point is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security, the WPA passphrase should be:
• From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
• Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key.
Note: If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, launch the wireless utility of
the computer network adapter and look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security information
for your network, see the documentation that came with the wireless access point, or contact your system support
person.

Creating an ad hoc wireless network
The recommended way to set up your wireless network is to use a wireless access point (wireless router). A network
set up this way is called an infrastructure network. If you have an infrastructure network, you should configure the
printer for use on that network.
Note: The printer can communicate on only one wireless network at a time. Configuring the printer for an ad hoc
wireless network will keep it from working on any other wireless network, either ad hoc or infrastructure.
You can set up an ad hoc network if you:
• Do not have an access point or wireless router
• Do not already have a wireless network (but do have a wireless adapter for your computer)
• Want to set up a standalone network between the printer and a computer with a wireless network adapter

Configuring the printer wirelessly using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a method of configuring computers and printers on a secure wireless network. WPS is
faster than manual configuration, and it reduces typing errors when new devices are added to a wireless network.
The SSID and WPA passphrase are automatically detected and configured for you. The printer supports WPS and can
be configured for wireless access using WPS. In order to use WPS to configure the printer, the wireless router must
also support WPS.
If you want to use WPS to set up your printer, then insert the CD and follow the instructions on the computer screen.
Notes:
• To use WPS to configure the printer wirelessly, all of the devices on your wireless network must support WPS. If
any device on your network does not support WPS, then you must type the SSID and security information when
prompted.
• If you are using the PIN method to add your printer using WPS, make sure you type all eight digits when you are
asked to enter your PIN.

Networking FAQ
What is Wi-Fi Protected Setup?
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple and secure configuration that allows you to establish a wireless home network
and enable network security without requiring prior knowledge of Wi-Fi technology. It is no longer necessary to
configure the network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphrase for network devices.
Note: WPS only supports networks that communicate through wireless access points (wireless routers).
The printer supports the following methods in connecting to a wireless network:
• Personal Identification Number (PIN)—A PIN on the printer is entered into the wireless settings of the wireless
access point.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC)—Buttons on both the printer and the wireless access point are pushed within a
given period of time.
Look for any of these identifier marks to check if your wireless access point is WPS certified:
You can find these WPS logos on the side, back, or top of your wireless access point.
For more information on accessing the wireless settings and determining the WPS capability of your wireless access
point, see the documentation that came with the wireless access point or contact your system support person.
Where do I find my WEP key or WPA passphrase?
To find the WEP key or WPA passphrase for the wireless network, view the security settings on the access point or
wireless router. Most access points have a Web page that can be accessed using a Web browser.
You can also check the manual that came with your access point or router. If your access point or router is using the
default settings, you can find the information in the manual. If someone else set up your network for you, that person
or company may have included the information in the manual.
If you do not know how to access the Web page, or if you do not have administrator access to the wireless access
point on your network, and are unable to locate the information in the manual, contact your system support person.
What is an SSID?
A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name that identifies a wireless network. All devices on the network must know
the SSID ofthe wireless network or they will not be able to communicatewith each other. Usually, thewireless network
broadcasts the SSID to allow wireless devices in the area to connect to it. Sometimes, the SSID is not broadcast for
security reasons.
If the SSID of your wireless network is not broadcast, it cannot be detected automatically and will not show up in the
list of available wireless networks. You must enter the network information manually in this situation.
An SSID can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
Networking
77
Where do I find my SSID?
You can find the SSID for the wireless network by viewing the settings on the access point or wireless router. Most
access points have a built-in Web server that can be accessed using a Web browser.
Many networkadapters provide a software application that allows you to view the wireless settings of your computer,
including your SSID. Check your computer to see if a program was installed with your network adapter.
If you are unable to locate your SSID using either of these methods, contact your system support person.
What is a network?
A network is a collection of devices such as computers, printers, Ethernet hubs, wireless access points, and routers
connected together for communication through cables or through a wireless connection. A network can be wired,
wireless, or designed to have both wired and wireless devices.
Devices on a wired network use cables to communicate with each other.
Devices on a wireless network use radio waves instead of cables to communicate with each other. For a device to be
able to communicate wirelessly, it must have a wireless network adapter attached or installed that lets it receive and
transmit radio waves.
How do I find out what type of security my network is using?
You must know the WEP key or WPA passphrase and the type of security (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) used on the wireless
network. To obtain this information, see the documentation that came with your wireless access point (wireless
router), see the Web page associated with the wireless access point, or consult your system support person.
Note: The WEP key or WPA passphrase is not the same as the password for the wireless access point. The password
allowsyou toaccessthe wirelessaccesspoint settings. The WEPkeyorWPApassphraseallowsprintersandcomputers
to join your wireless network.
How are home networks configured?
For desktop computers, laptops, and printers to communicate with each other over a network, they must be
connected by cables and/or have wireless network adapters built in or installed in them.
There are many different ways a network can be set up. Four common examples appear below.
Note: The printers in the following diagrams represent printers with internal print servers built into them so that
they can communicate over a network.
Wireless network examples
Scenario 1: Mixed wired and wireless connections on a network with Internet access
• All computers and printers connect to the network through a router with Ethernet and wireless capabilities.
• Some computers and printers connect wirelessly to the router; others connect over a wired connection.
Networking
78
• The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or cable modem.
Scenario 2: Wireless network with Internet access
• All computers and printers connect to the network using a wireless access point or wireless router.
• The wireless access point connects the network to the Internet through a DSL or cable modem.
Scenario 3: Wireless network with no Internet access
• Computers and printers connect to the network using a wireless access point.
• The network has no connection to the Internet.
Networking
79
Scenario 4: Computer connected wirelessly to a printer without Internet access
• A computer is directly connected to a printer without going through a wireless router.
• This configuration is referred to as an ad hoc network.
• The network has no connection to the Internet.
Note: Most computers can connect to only one wireless network at a time. If you access the Internet over a wireless
connection, you will lose Internet access if you are connected to an ad hoc network.
Why do I need an installation cable?
When setting up the printer on your wireless network, the printer will need to temporarily connect to a computer
using the installation cable. This temporary connection is used to set up the wireless settings of the printer.
The installation cable connects to a rectangular USB port on the installing computer and the square USB port on the
printer.
How do I attach the installation cable?
The installation cable attaches to a USB port on the computer and to the square connector on the back of the printer.
This connection allows you to configure the printer for a networked or locally attached installation.
1 Attach the large, rectangular connector to any USB port on your computer. USB ports may be on the front or the
back of the computer, and may be horizontal or vertical.
Networking
80
2 Attach the small, square connector to the printer.
3 Continue following the on-screen instructions.
How are infrastructure and ad hoc networks different?
Wireless networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure or ad hoc.
In infrastructure mode, all devices on a wireless network communicate with each other through a wireless router
(wireless access point). Devices on the wireless network must have valid IP addresses for the current network and
share the same SSID and channel as the wireless access point.
In ad hoc mode, a computer with a wireless network adapter communicates directly with a printer equipped with a
wireless print server. The computer must have a valid IP address for the current network and be set to ad hoc mode.
The wireless print server must be configured to use the same SSID and channel that the computer is using.
The following table compares the characteristics and requirements of the two types of wireless networks.

Infrastructure mode is the recommended setup method because it provides:
• Increased network security
• Increased reliability
• Faster performance
• Easier setup
Finding the signal strength
Wireless devices have built-in antennas that transmit and receive radio signals. The signal strength listed on the
printer network setup page indicates how strongly a transmitted signal is being received. Many factors can affect
the signal strength. One factor is interference from other wireless devices or other devices such as microwave ovens.
Another factor is distance. The farther two wireless devices are from each other, the more likely it is that the
communication signal will be weaker.
The strength of the signal received by your computer can also affect the connectivity of the printer with the network
during configuration. When you installed the wireless adapter in your computer, the adapter software probably
placed an icon in your system tray. Try double-clicking this icon, and it will tell you how strongly the computer is
receiving the wireless signal from the network.
To improve signal quality, remove sources of interference and/or move wireless devices closer to the wireless access
point (wireless router).
How can I improve wireless signal strength?
A common reason wireless printers fail to communicate over a network is poor wireless signal quality. If the signal
is too weak, too distorted, or blocked by an object, it cannot carry information between the access point and the
printer. To determine if the printer is receiving a strong signal from the access point, print a network setup page. The
Quality field indicates the relative strength of the wireless signal the printer is receiving. Drops in signal strength can
be intermittent, however, and although the signal quality appears high, it may drop during certain conditions.
If you think signal strength is a problem between your access point and the printer, try one or more of the following:
Notes:
• The solutions below are for infrastructure networks. If you are using an ad hoc network, adjust the computer
when the solution suggests adjusting the access point.
• Ad hoc networks have a much shorter range than infrastructure networks. Try moving the printer closer to the
computer if they seem to have trouble communicating.
MOVE THE PRINTER CLOSER TO THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINT/WIRELESS ROUTER
If the printer is too far away from the access point, it will not be able to communicate with other devices on the
network. For most indoor wireless networks, the maximum distance between the access point and the printer is
approximately 100 feet (30 meters). This distance could be longer or shorter, depending upon the layout of the
network and the limitations of the access point.
REMOVE OBSTACLES BETWEEN THE ACCESS POINT AND THE PRINTER
The wireless signal from your access point will pass through most objects. Most walls, floors, furniture and other
objects will not block the wireless signal. However, there are materials that are too dense for the signal to pass
through. Objects containing metal and concrete can block the signal. Arrange your printer and access point so
that the signal is not blocked by such objects.
Networking
82
REMOVE SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE
Other types of radio frequencies can cause problems with the wireless signal on your network. These sources of
interference can cause printing issues that seem to come and go. Turn off potential sources of interference where
possible. Avoid using microwaves and cordless phones when printing over your wireless network.
If another wireless network is operating in the vicinity, change the wireless channel on the access point.
Do not place your access point on a printer or other electronic device. Such devices can also interfere with the
wireless signal.
ARRANGE THE NETWORK TO REDUCE SIGNAL ABSORPTION
Even when the wireless signal is able to pass through an object, it is slightly weakened. If it passes through too
many objects, it can be significantly weakened. Allobjects absorb partof the wirelesssignalwhen it passes through
them, and certain types of objects absorb enough to cause communications problems. Place your access point as
high in the room as possible to avoid signal absorption.
How can I make sure my computer and printer are connected to the
same wireless network?
If the printer is not on the same wireless network as the computer, 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 wireless access point (wireless router) into the address field of your Web browser.
If you do not know the IP address of the wireless access point:
1 Click , or click Start and then click Run.
2 In the Start Search or Run box, type cmd.
3 Press Enter, or click OK.
The Command Prompt window opens.
4 Type ipconfig, and then press Enter. Check the Wireless Network Connection section:
• The “Default Gateway” entry is typically the wireless access point.
• The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.2.134.
b Type the user name and password of the router when prompted.
c Click OK.
d On the main page, click Wireless or any other selection where settings are stored. The SSID will be displayed.
e Write down the SSID.
Note: Make sure you copy it exactly, including any capital letters.
2 Print the printer network setup page.
In the Wireless section, look for SSID.
Networking
83
3 Compare the SSID of the computer and SSID of the printer.

Can I use my printer on a USB and a network connection at the same
time?
Yes, the printer supports a simultaneous USB and network connection. The printer can be configured in the following
ways:
• Locally attached (connected to a computer using a USB cable)
• Wireless network
• Wireless network and locally attached simultaneously
What is a MAC address?
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a 48-bit identifier associated with the hardware of network equipment. The
MAC address may also be called the physical address because it is connected to the hardware of a device instead of
its software. The MAC address is displayed as a hexadecimal number in this format: 01-23-45-67-89-AB.
Every device capable of communicating on a network has a MAC address. Network printers, computers, and routers,
whether Ethernet or wireless, all have MAC addresses.
While it is possible to change the MAC address of a network device, it is not common practice to do so. For this reason,
MAC addresses are considered permanent. IP addresses are easily changed, so MAC addresses are a more reliable
method of identifying a specific device on a network.
Routers with security capabilities may allow filtering of MAC addresses on networks. This allows a managed list of
devices to access the network, identified by their MAC addresses. MAC address filtering can help prevent access on
the network from unwanted devices, such as from intruders on a wireless network. MAC address filtering can also
prevent legitimate access if you forget to add a new device to the router's list of allowed addresses. If your network
uses MAC address filtering, be sure to add the MAC address of the printer to the list of allowed devices.
How do I find the MAC address?
Most network equipment has a unique hardware identification number to distinguish it from other devices on the
network. This is called the Media Access Control (MAC) address.
When installing the printer on a network, make sure you select the printer with the correct MAC address.
The MAC address label is located inside the printer.
Networking
85
The MAC address of the internal print server is a series of letters and numbers. Other devices sometimes use a type
of MAC address called Universally Administered Address (UAA).
Note: A listofMAC addresses can be set on anaccesspoint (router)so that onlydeviceswithmatching MAC addresses
are allowed to operate on the network. This is called MAC filtering. If MAC filtering is enabled in your access point and
you want to add a printer to your network, then the MAC address of the printer must be included in the MAC filter
list.
What is an IP address?
An IP address is a unique number used by devices (such as a wireless printer, computer, or wireless access point) on
an IP network to locate and communicate with each other. Devices on an IP network can communicate with each
otheronly if they have unique and valid IP addresses. A unique IP address means no two devices on the same network
have the same IP address.
An IP address is a group of four numbers separated by periods. An example of an IP address is 192.168.100.110.
What is TCP/IP?
Networks are able to function because computers, printers, and other devices are able to send data to each other,
either through cables or by using wireless signals. This transfer of data is made possible by sets of data transmission
rules called protocols.A protocolcanbethoughtofasa language, and likea language, ithasrulesallowingparticipants
to communicate with each other.
Different types of networks use different protocols, but Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the
most popular. TCP/IP is used to send data over the Internet as well as over most corporate and home networks.
Because computers do not understand words and instead rely upon numbers for communication, TCP/IP requires
that every device on a network using TCP/IP to communicate must have an IP address. IP addresses are essentially
unique computer names in a numeric format, used to transfer data around a network. IP addresses allow TCP/IP to
confirm requests for and receipt of data by various devices on the network.
How do I locate IP addresses?
For Windows users
1 Click , or click Start and then click Run.
2 In the Start Search or Run box, type cmd.
3 Press Enter, or click OK.
The Command Prompt window opens.
4 Type ipconfig, and then press Enter.
The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.100.
Networking

For Macintosh users
1 From the Apple menu, choose About This Mac.
2 Click More Info.
3 From the Contents pane, choose Network.
4 If you are connected over a wireless network, choose AirPort from the Active Services list.
How to locate a printer IP address
• You can locate the printer IP address by viewing the printer network setup page.
How are IP addresses assigned?
An IP address may be assigned automatically by the network using DHCP. Once the printer is set up on a computer,
the computer sends all print jobs across the network to the printer using this address.
If the IP address is not automatically assigned, you will be asked during wireless setup to manually enter an address
and other network information after selecting your printer from the available list.
What is a key index?
A wireless access point (wireless router) can be configured with as many as four WEP keys. Only one key is used on
the network at a time, however. The keys are numbered, and the number of a key is referred to as its key index. All
devicesonthewireless networkmustbe configuredtousethesamekeyindex when multipleWEP keys areconfigured
on the wireless access point.
Select the same key index on your printer as you are using on your wireless access point.

Wireless troubleshooting checklist
Before beginning to troubleshoot the wireless printer, verify the following:
• The printer, the computer, and the wireless access point are all plugged in and turned on.
• The wireless network is working properly.
Try accessing other computers on your wireless network.
If your network has Internet access, try connecting to the Internet over a wireless connection.
• Your SSID is correct.
Print a network setup page to verify the SSID the printer is using.
If you are not sure if your SSID is correct, then run the wireless setup again.
• Your WEP key or WPA passphrase is correct (if your network is secure).
Log into the wireless access point (wireless router) and check the security settings.
A security key is like a password. All devices on the same wireless network using WEP, WPA, or WPA2 share the
same security key.
If you are not sure if your security information is correct, run the wireless setup again.
• The printer and the computer are within the range of the wireless network.
For most networks, the printer and the computer should be within 100 feet (30 meters) of the wireless access
point (wireless router).
• The Wi-Fi indicator light is lit and is solid green.
• The printer driver is installed on the computer from which you are performing a task.
• The correct printer port is selected.
• The computer and printer are both connected to the same wireless network.
• The printer is located away from obstacles or electronic devices that could interfere with the wireless signal.
Make sure the printer and wireless access point are not separated by poles, walls, or support columns containing
metal or concrete.
Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal, including baby monitors, motors, cordless phones, security
system cameras, other wireless networks, and some Bluetooth devices.

Check to see if your printer has a Demo Mode. Selected printer features are not available when Demo Mode is
turned on.
From the printer control panel, navigate to Demo Mode:
> Demo Mode.
Select Off, and then save the setting.
CHECK YOUR WEP KEY OR WPA PASSPHRASE
If your wireless access point is using Wired Equivalent Privacy (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 wireless access point is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security, then the WPA passphrase should be:
• From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
• Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
Note: If you do not know this information, then see the documentation that came with the wireless network, or
contact the person who set up your wireless network.
CHECK IF YOUR WIRELESS 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, see the documentation that came with your box,
or contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Troubleshooting
106
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 WIRELESS ROUTER
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.
CHECK THE WIRELESS SIGNAL QUALITY
Print the 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 wireless access point.
• If you set the wireless 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 wireless
router, or contact the person who set up your wireless network.
MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER IS CONNECTED TO YOUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT (WIRELESS
ROUTER)
• 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.

Wi-Fi indicator light is still orange
When the Wi-Fi indicator light is orange, it may indicate that the printer is:
• Not configured in infrastructure mode
• Waiting to make an ad hoc connection to another wireless device
• Not connected to a wireless network
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:
CHECK NETWORK NAME
Make sure your network does not have the same name as another network near you. For example, if you and your
neighbor both use a manufacturer's default network name, your printer could be connecting to your neighbor's
network.
If you are not using a unique network name, consult the documentation for your wireless access point (wireless
router) to learn how to set a network name.
If you set a new network name, you must reset the printer and computer SSID to the same network name.
CHECK SECURITY KEYS
If you are using WEP security
A valid WEP key is:
• 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.
Troubleshooting
112
If you are using WPA security
A valid WPA passphrase is:
• From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
• Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key. Using a wireless network with
no securityis not recommended becauseit can allow intruders to useyour networkresources withoutyour consent.
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.

Communication with printer lost when connected to Virtual Private
Network (VPN)
You will lose your connection to a wireless printer on your local network when connected to most Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs). Most VPNs allow users to communicate with only the VPN and no other network at the same time.
If you would like to have the ability to connect to your local network and to a VPN at the same time, the system
support person for the VPN must enable split tunneling. Be aware that some organizations will not allow split
tunneling due to security or technical concerns.
Resolving intermittent wireless communications issues
You may notice that your printer works for a short time and then stops working, although apparently nothing has
changed on your wireless network.
Many different issues can interrupt network communications, and sometimes more than one problem exists at the
same time. These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
DISCONNECT FROM ALL VPNS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE THE WIRELESS NETWORK
Most Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) allow computers to communicate with only the VPN and no other network
at the same time. Disconnect from the VPN before installing the driver on the computer or before running the
wireless setup on the computer.
To check if the computer is currently connected to a VPN, open your VPN Client software and check your VPN
connections. Ifyou do not have a VPN Client software installed, check the connections manually using the Windows
VPN Client.
If you would like to have the ability to connect to your local network and to a VPN at the same time, the system
support person for the VPN must enable split tunneling. Be aware that some organizations will not allow split
tunneling due to security or technical concerns.
TURN OFF THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINT (WIRELESS ROUTER) AND TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN
ELIMINATE NETWORK CONGESTION
If a wireless network is too busy, the computer and printer may have difficulty communicating with each other.
Some causes of wireless network congestion can include:
• Transferring large files across the network
• Networked games
• Peer-to-peer file swapping applications
• Streaming video
• Too many computers on the wireless network at once
ELIMINATE SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE
Common household items can potentially disrupt wireless network communications. Cordless phones (but not
cellular phones), microwave ovens, baby monitors, almost any kitchen appliance, wireless surveillance equipment,
nearby wireless networks, and any appliance containing a motor can disrupt wireless network communications.
Try turning on any potential sources of interferenceand see if it causes the problem. If itdoes, separate your wireless
network from the device.
Troubleshooting
120
CHANGE THE CHANNEL THE WIRELESS ROUTER USES
You can sometimes eliminate interference from unknown sources by changing the channel your wireless router
uses to broadcast. There are three distinct channels on a router. Check the documentation that came with your
router to determine which three apply. Other channels are offered as options, but these overlap. If the router is
configured to use the default settings, change the channel setting to use a different distinct channel. Refer to the
manual that came with your wireless router if you are not sure how to change the channel.
CONFIGURE THE WIRELESS ROUTER WITH A UNIQUE SSID
Many wireless networks use the SSID that the router was originally configured by the manufacturer to use. Using
the default SSID can cause problems when more than one network is operating in the same area with the same
SSID. The printer or computer may attempt to attach to the wrong network, although it will appear to be trying to
connect to the correct network.
To avoid this type of interference, change the SSID on your wireless router from the default. Refer to the manual
that came with your router if you are not sure how to change the SSID.
Note: You must change the SSID on all of the other devices that access your wireless network if you change the
SSID on the router.
ASSIGN STATIC IP ADDRESSES TO ALL DEVICES IN THE NETWORK
Most wireless networks use a DHCP server (dynamic host configuration protocol) built in to the wireless router to
assign IP addresses to clients on the wireless network. DHCP addresses are assigned when they are needed, as
when a new device is added to the wireless network or when it is powered on. Wireless devices must send a request
to the router, and receive an IP address in response so they can function on the network. Because the router
performs many other tasks besides assigning addresses, it sometimes does not respond quickly enough with an
address. The requesting device sometimes gives up before it receives an address.
Try assigning static IP addresses to the devices in your network to resolve this issue. Static IP addresses cut down
on the work your wireless router has to do. Refer to the manual that came with your router and your operating
system documentation if you are not sure how to assign static IP addresses.
To assign a static IP address to the printer, do the following:
1 Complete the wirelesssetup,allowingtheprinterto receive a DHCPaddressfroma DHCPserveronthe network.
2 Print a network setup page to see what IP address is currently assigned to the printer.
3 Open a Web browser and then type the printer IP address in the address field. Press Enter.
The printer Web page loads.
4 Click the Configuration link.
5 Click the TCP/IP link.
6 Click the Set Static IP Address link.
7 Type the IP address you want to assign to the printer in the IP Address field.
8 Click the Submit button.
The Submitting Selection message appears.
Confirm that the IP address is updated by typing the static IP address in the browser address field and checking to
see if the printer Web page reloads.
Troubleshooting
121
CHECK FOR KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE WIRELESS ROUTER
Some wireless routers have documented defects that were identified and resolved by the manufacturers. Visit the
companyWeb site ofthe router manufacturer.Checkforfirmwareupdates and other advice fromthemanufacturer.
Check the manual that came with your wireless router if you are not sure how to reach the manufacturer Web site.
CHECK FOR WIRELESS ADAPTER UPDATES
If you are having trouble printing from one particular computer, check the Web site of the manufacturer of the
network adapter card in that computer. It is possible that there is an updated driver available that could resolve
the issue.
CHANGE ALL NETWORK DEVICES TO THE SAME TYPE
While it is possible to successfully mix 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices on the same wireless network, the
faster devices will sometimes prevent the slower devices from communicating. Wireless devices are designed to
wait for a gap in wireless network communications before attempting to send information. If newer, faster devices
are constantly using the wireless network, then older, slower devices will not have a chance to send data.
Try only turning on the network devices of the same type and see if network communications improve. If this solves
the problem, you may want to upgrade your older devices with newer network adapters.
PURCHASE A NEW ROUTER
If your router is several years old, it may not be fully compatible with the newer wireless devices on your network.
Consider purchasing a newer router that is fully compliant with the 802.11 IEEE specifications.

Power Saver The product is in energy-saving mode.
Off
The product is plugged into a wall outlet, but the power switch is turned 0.34
off.
The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements. Instantaneous
power draws may be substantially higher than the average.
Power Saver
This product is designed with an energy-saving mode called Power Saver. The Power Saver Mode is equivalent to
the Sleep Mode. The Power Saver Mode saves energy by lowering power consumption during extended periods of
inactivity. The Power Saver Mode is automatically engaged after this product is not used for a specified period of
time, called the Power Saver Timeout.
Factory default Power Saver Timeout for this product (in minutes):
60
By using the configuration menus, the Power Saver Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and 240 minutes.
Setting the Power Saver Timeout to a low value reduces energy consumption, but may increase the response time
of the product. Setting the Power Saver Timeout to a high value maintains a fast response, but uses more energy.
Off mode
If this product has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely stop product power
consumption, disconnect the power supply cord from the wall outlet.
Total energy usage
It is sometimes helpful to calculate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims are provided
in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the product spends in each mode
in order to calculate energy usage. The total product energy usage is the sum of each mode's energy usage.
