Cleaning the printhead nozzles
If you have not been using the printer for a long period, then you may need to clean the printhead nozzles
to improve the quality of your prints. Keep your printer plugged to a properly grounded, working electrical
outlet to allow it to perform automatic maintenance cycles.
Notes:
• Cleaning the printhead nozzles uses ink, so clean them only when necessary.
• Deep cleaning uses more ink, so try the Clean Printhead option first to save ink.
• If the ink levels are too low, you must replace the ink cartridges before you can clean the printhead
nozzles.

What is Wi‑Fi Protected Setup?
• From 8 to 63 ASCII characters
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.
Notes:
• Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
• ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a
WPA/WPA2 passphrase are case‑sensitive.
Note: WPS supports only networks that communicate through access points (wireless routers).
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key.
The printer supports the following methods in connecting to a wireless network:
Note: If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then 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, then see the documentation that came with the
access point, or contact your system support person.
• Personal Identification Number (PIN)—A PIN on the printer is entered into the wireless settings of the
access point.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC)—Buttons on both the printer and the access point are pushed within
a given period of time.
Look for any of these identifier marks to check if your access point is WPS certified:
Installing the printer on a wireless network
Before you install the printer on a wireless network, make sure that:
• Your wireless network is set up and working properly.
• The computer you are using is connected to the same wireless network where you want to set up the

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 on to the access point and check the security settings.
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.
For Macintosh users
A security key is like a password. All devices on the same wireless network using WEP, WPA, or WPA2
share the same security key.
1 From the Apple menu, choose About This Mac.
2 Click More Info.
If you are not sure if your security information is correct, then run the wireless setup again.
• The printer and the computer are within the range of the wireless network.
3 From the Contents pane, choose Network.
4 If you are connected over a wireless network, choose AirPort from the Active Services list.
For most networks, the printer and the computer should be within 100 feet (30 meters) of the access
point (wireless router).
• The Wi‑Fi indicator is green and successfully connected.
• The printer driver is installed on the computer from which you are performing a task.
Locating the printer IP address
• You can locate the printer IP address by viewing the printer network setup page. See the User's
Guide on the software installation CD for more information on printing a network setup page.
• 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.
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.
Make sure the printer and access point are not separated by poles, walls, or support columns
containing metal or concrete.
Before you reinstall the software, check the troubleshooting checklist, and then do the following:
Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal, including baby monitors, motors, cordless phones,
security system cameras, other wireless networks, and some Bluetooth devices.
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
MOVE THE COMPUTER AND/OR PRINTER CLOSER TO THE ACCESS POINT
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.
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.
MAKE SURE DEMO MODE IS TURNED OFF
CHECK THE WIRELESS SIGNAL QUALITY
Select printer features are not available when Demo Mode is turned on.
Print a network setup page and check the signal quality. If the signal quality islisted as good or excellent,
then another factor is causing the problem.
From the printer control panel, navigate to:
OK
OK
OK
> Setup >
> Demo Mode >
> Off >
CHECK YOUR ADVANCED SECURITY SETTINGS
CHECK YOUR WEP KEY OR WPA PASSPHRASE
• 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 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.
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER IS CONNECTED TO YOUR ACCESS POINT
or
• See if you have access to the Internet by opening your Web browser and accessing any site.
• 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.
• If there are other computers or resources on your wireless network, then check to see if you can
access them from your computer.
Note: If you do not know this information, then see the documentation that came with the access
point, or contact your system support person.
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR COMPUTER AND PRINTER ARE CONNECTED TO THE SAME WIRELESS
NETWORK
CHECK IF YOUR ACCESS POINT HAS AN ASSOCIATION/REGISTRATION BUTTON
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.
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.
For Windows users
If you are using one of these boxes and need more information, then see the documentation that came

From the printer, print a network setup page.
In the Wireless section, look for SSID.
3 Compare the SSID of the computer and SSID of the printer.
If the SSIDs are the same, then the computer and the printer are connected to the same wireless
network.
“Communication not available” message appears when printing
wirelessly
If the SSIDs are not the same, then run the utility again to set up the printer on the wireless network
used by the computer.
Try one or more of the following:
MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER AND PRINTER HAVE VALID IP ADDRESSES FOR THE NETWORK
Ifyou areusing alaptop andhave power saving settingsenabled, then youmaysee the ”Communication
not available” message on your computer screen when you attempt to print wirelessly. This can occur
if the laptop hard drive has powered down.
For Macintosh users with an AirPort base station
In Mac OS X version 10.5 or later
1 From the Apple menu, navigate to:
System Preferences > Network > AirPort
If you see this message, then wait a few seconds and then try to print again. The laptop and printer
require a few seconds to power up again and reattach to the wireless network.
The SSID of the network that the computer is connected to is displayed in the Network Name menu.
If you see this message again after you have waited long enough for the printer and the laptop to attach
to the network, then there may be a problem with your wireless network.
2 Write down the SSID.

4 Right‑click the printer, and then select Properties or Printer properties from the menu.
5 Click the Ports tab.
If the printer or the laptop does not have an IP address, or if either has an address of 169.254.x.y (where
x and y are any two numbers between 0 and 255), then do the following:
6 Click the box next to Enable bidirectional support if it is not already checked.
7 Click Apply > OK, and then try to print again.
1 Turn off the device that does not have a valid IP address (the laptop, the printer, or both).
2 Turn on the device, and then check the IP addresses again.
If the printer or the laptop still does not receive a valid IP address, then there is a problem with your
wireless network. Try the following:
• Make sure your access point (wireless router) is turned on and is working.
• Remove any objects that could be blocking the signal.
• Temporarily turn off any unnecessary wireless devices on your network and pause any
network‑intensive activities, like large file transfers or network games. If the network is too busy,
then it is possible that the printer is not receiving the IP address within the allowed time.
• Make sure your DHCP server, which may also be your wireless router, is working and is configured
to assign IP addresses. If you are not sure how to do this, then refer to the manual that came with
your wireless router.
If the printer and computer have valid IP addresses and the network is operating correctly, then
continue troubleshooting.
MAKE SURE THE WIRELESS PORT IS SELECTED
Note: This solution applies to Windows users only.
1 Click
, or click Start and then click Run.
2 In the Start Search or Run box, type control printers.
3 Press Enter, or click OK.

5 Click the Ports tab, and then locate the selected port.
The selected port has a check mark beside it in the Port column.
6 If the Description column of the selected port indicates that it is a USB port, then scroll through the
list and select the port with Printer Port in the Description column. Check the printer model in the
Printer column to make sure you select the right printer port.
7 Click OK, and then try to print again.
