Networking Your Printer

This section explains how to configure your wireless network settings.

Connecting to a wireless network

To connect your printer to an 802.11b/g/n wireless (Wi-Fi) network, refer to the following information.

Before you connect

You need:
• a wireless router.
• to determine whether your wireless router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
• to temporarily disable your firewall until the printer is successfully installed and communicating.
– If you are unsure of how your network is configured, contact your Internet
service provider or your network administrator.
– If you have specific questions about your router, see your router
manufacturer’s documentation for more information.
For information, go to adventprintersupport.custhelp.com/app/go/inkjetnetworking

Connecting to a wireless network using the WiFi Setup Wizard

You can use the WiFi Setup Wizard on the printer to connect to your wireless network. Read the following procedures and use the one that is appropriate for your network setup.
Connecting to a non-WPS wireless router
To connect your printer to your wireless network, you need to know the network name, also called the Service Set Identifier (SSID). You can obtain your network name from the wireless router.
If your network has security enabled, you also need to know the password (passphrase or security string).
Record your network information in the spaces below, using the correct uppercase and lowercase letters.
Network Name (SSID): ________________________________________
Security String (case-sensitive): ________________________________
1. Press Home.
2. Press to select Network Settings, then press OK.
3. With WiFi Setup Wizard selected, press OK. NOTE: The Wi-Fi radio turns on when you select WiFi Setup Wizard.
adventprintersupport.custhelp.com 5
Networking Your Printer
The Wi-Fi connectivity LED blinks as the printer searches for available wireless networks within range, then displays the list in order of signal strength. For example:
If there are more networks than can be shown on the LCD, a (page down) symbol appears in the bottom right of the display. If you don’t see your network in the list, or if you want to change your network, select Rescan for Wireless Networks, then press OK.
4. If the name of your network is:
Listed Not listed
Press to select your network, then press OK.
Make sure your wireless router is turned on and within range. If your wireless router does not broadcast its SSID (network name):
1. Press to select Unlisted Network, then press OK.
2. Use the LCD keyboard (see Using the LCD
keyboard, page 8) to enter your network name.
3. Select WEP or WPA/WPA2 as required for your network's security setup, then press OK.
5. If your network has security enabled, use the LCD keyboard (see Using the LCD
keyboard, page 8) to enter your security string.
6. When the confirmation message appears, press OK. If the printer is successfully connected, the Wi-Fi connectivity LED will stop
blinking and stay on steadily. If you are unable to connect your printer, go to
adventprintersupport.custhelp.com/app/go/inkjetnetworking for more
information.
7. If you haven’t yet installed the ADVENT All-in-One Printer Software, go to
adventprintersupport.custhelp.com/app/go/downloads and follow the
on-screen instructions to install the software. The printer with a wireless connection is listed as the name of the printer plus a
number (for example, ADVENT-AW10+0072).
8. Enable the firewall that you disabled earlier.

CAUTION:

Maintaining Your Printer

Your printer requires little maintenance. However, Advent recommends cleaning the scanner glass and lid regularly to remove dust and fingerprints, which affect the quality and accuracy of scanning.
Except while cleaning the printer, keep the printer plugged into an AC power outlet. If you use a power strip, don't turn off the power strip. (The printer does not need to be turned on but should be plugged in.)
For optimal performance, keep the printer connected to a computer that is powered on and has the ADVENT All-in-One Printer Software installed, or keep the printer powered on and connected to the Internet through a wireless network.
Keep the printhead and ink cartridges in the printer at all times to help prevent damage to the printhead.
For recycling and/or disposal information, contact your local authorities.

General care and cleaning

Always disconnect the power to the printer before cleaning it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on any part of the printer.
• To clean the printer, wipe the outside with a clean, dry cloth.
• Keep the surrounding area vacuumed and litter-free.
• Protect the printer from tobacco smoke, dust, and liquid spills.
• Do not place objects on the printer.
• Keep the input tray free of dust, dirt, and other foreign objects.
• Keep the printer supplies away from direct sunlight and out of high-temperature environments.
• Do not allow chemicals to come into contact with the printer.
