The number of pages remaining changes as a result of the type of print jobs the printer completes.

When your ink cartridge levels are low, a Low Ink Warning appears on your screen when you try to print. This warning is displayed every time you print until you install a new ink cartridge. For more information, see

When one or both of your ink cartridges are empty, the Reserve Tank window appears on your screen when you try to print. If you continue printing, the print job may not print as you expect.

An existing wireless network

The Drivers and Utilities CD that shipped with your printer

A computer running one of the following operating systems:

Windows Vista™

Microsoft® Windows® XP

Microsoft Windows 2000

Wireless Network Settings

Some wireless network settings may be needed to configure the adapter that has been installed in the printer. Here are some of the settings that you may need:

Network Name, also known as SSID (Service Set ID)

BSS (Basic Service Set) Type (the type of wireless network you use—Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure)

Wireless Channel Number

Network Authentication and encryption type

Security Key(s)

Wireless Encryption

The following security types are supported:

No security

WEP with either 64-bit or 128-bit key

WPA2 with 128-bit AES-CCMP encryption engine

A WPA (WiFi Protected Access) pre-shared key is like a password and must meet the following criteria:

If you are using Hexadecimal characters, valid keys are 64 characters long.

If you are using ASCII, valid keys are at least 8 characters long.

The wireless network may use anywhere from one to four WEP keys. A WEP key is like a password and must meet the following criteria:

If you are using Hexadecimal characters, valid keys are either 10 or 26 characters long.

If you are using ASCII, valid keys are either 5 or 13 characters long.
