Safety information

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. If you do encounter any problems along the 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

• 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. Eco-Mode is enabled by default in your printer.

• 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

• 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 previ ew 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.

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.

About your printer

• 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.

• This printer is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0. It supports the following profiles: Object Push Profile

(OPP) and Serial Port Profile (SPP). Check with your Bluetooth-enabled device manufacturers (cellular phone or PDA) to determine their hardware compatibility and interoperability. It is recommended that you use the latest firmware on your Bluetooth-enabled device.

• To print Microsoft documents from your Windows Mobile/Pocket PC PDA, additional third-party software and

drivers are required. For more information about the required software, see the documentation for your PDA.

Setting up a connection between your printer and a Bluetooth-enabled device

Note: The printer does not support printing files from your computer using a Bluetooth connection.

You need to set up a connection between a Bluetooth-enabled device and your printer if you are sending a print job from the Bluetooth device for the first time. You will need to repeat the setup if:

• You reset the printer to its factory default settings.

• You change the Bluetooth security level or the Bluetooth pass key.

• The Bluetooth-enabled device you are using requires users to set up a Bluetooth connection on every print job.

For more information, see the documentation for your Bluetooth device.

• The name of the Bluetooth device you are using is automatically deleted from the Bluetooth device list.

When the Bluetooth security level is set to High, the printer saves a list of up to eight Bluetooth devices that have previously set up a connection with the printer. When the printer detects more than eight devices, the least recently used device is removed from the list. You need to repeat the setup of the deleted device to be able to send a print job to the printer.

Note: You need to set up a connection for each Bluetooth device that you use to send a print job to the printer.

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.

Updating the application list

1 From the printer control panel, press .

2 Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Computer or Network.

Scanning

3 Select a local or network computer to receive the scan and then press .

Wait until the printer has finished downloading a list of the scan applications available on the selected computer.

Faxing

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Do not use the fax feature during a lightning storm. Do not set up this product or make any electrical or cabling connections, such as the power supply cord or telephone, during a lightning storm.

Setting up the printer to fax

Scenario 1: Standard telephone line

Check the scenarios below and follow the setup that is applicable to your telephone line.

Setup 1: Printer is connected to a dedicated fax line

LIN

Tips for this setup:

•

You can set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On) or manually (Auto Answer Off).

• If you want to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), then you may set the printer to pick up on any

number of rings that you want.

Faxing

Setup 2: Printer is sharing the line with an answering machine

Connected to the same telephone wall jack

T X

E N I

Connected to different wall jacks

T X

E N I

Tips for this setup:

•

If you have only one telephone number on your line, or if you do not subscribe to a distinctive ring service, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On).

• Set the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine

picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after six rings. This way, the answering machine picks up calls first and your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over the call.

Faxing

• If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided by your telephone company, then make sure that you set

the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.

Setup 3: Printer is sharing the line with a telephone subscribed to voice mail service

LIN

Tips for this setup:

•

This setup works best if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service. If you have distinctive ring service, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.

• If you have only one telephone number on your line, or if you do not have distinctive ring service, then you need

to set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off). When you answer the telephone and you hear fax tones, press *9* or the manual answer code on the telephone

to receive the fax.

• You can also set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), but you need to turn off the voice

mail service when you are expecting a fax. This setting works best if you are using voice mail more often than fax.

Faxing

Scenario 2: Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)

Follow this setup if you have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL).

T X E

E N I L

A Digital Subscriber Line splits your regular telephone line into two channels: voice and Internet. Telephone and fax signals travel through the voice channel, and Internet signals pass through the other channel. This way, you can use the same line for analog voice calls (including faxing) and digital Internet access.

To minimize interference between the two channels and ensure a quality connection, you need to install a DSL filter for the analog devices (fax machine, telephone, answering machine) in your network. Interference causes noise and static on the telephone, failed and poor quality faxes for the printer, and slow Internet connection on your computer.

To install a filter for the printer:

1 Connect the line port of the DSL filter to the wall jack.

2 Connect a telephone cable from the port on the back of the printer to the phone port on the DSL filter.

3 To continue using a computer for Internet access, connect the computer to the DSL HPN port on the DSL filter.

Faxing

Scenario 3: VoIP telephone service

Follow this setup if you have telephone service from a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) provider.

Tips for this setup:

• Connect the printer to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Ph one Port on the VoIP adapter. The port labeled Phone

Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. You may need to pay extra to your VoIP provider if you want to activate

the second phone port.

• To make sure that the phone port on the VoIP adapter is active, plug an analog telephone into the phone port,

and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the port is active.

• If you need two phone ports for your devices but do not want to pay extra, then do not plug the printer into the

second phone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the Phone Line 1 or Phone Port , and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter.

Note: Make sure you use a phone splitter, not a line splitter. To make sure that you are using the correct splitter,

plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone.

Faxing

Scenario 4: Digital telephone service through a cable provider

Setup 1: Printer is connected directly to a cable modem

Follow this setup if you normally connect your telephone to a cable modem.

Tips for this setup:

•

Connect the printer to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the cable modem. The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. You may need to pay extra to your cable provider if you want to

activate the second phone port.

• To make sure that the phone port on the cable modem is active, plug an analog telephone into the phone port,

and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the port is active.

• If you need two phone ports for your devices but do not want to pay extra, then do not plug the printer into the

second phone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the Phone Line 1 or Phone Port , and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter.

Note: Make sure you use a phone splitter, not a line splitter. To make sure that you are using the correct splitter,

plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone.

Faxing

Setup 2: Printer is connected to a wall jack; cable modem is installed elsewhere in the house

Follow this setup if your cable provider activated the wall jacks in your house so that you do not have to plug your devices into the cable modem. Your cable telephone service comes from the wall jacks.

Scenario 5: Country-specific setup

Different countries have different types of telephone wall jacks. The most common wall jack is the Registered Jack-11 (RJ-11), the standard adopted by most countries. You need to have an RJ-11 plug, or a telephone cable that has an RJ-11 connector, so you can connect a device to an RJ-11 wall jack.

The fax ports on the back of the printer and the telephone cable that comes with the printer have RJ-11 connectors. If you have a different type of connector in your country or region, then you may need to use an RJ-11 adapter.

Faxing

Connecting the printer to a non-RJ-11 wall jack

To set up the printer for faxing, connect the printer to the RJ-11 adapter that comes with the printer, and then plug the adapter into the wall jack. You can also connect an additional device (telephone or answering machine) to the same telephone line. If the additional device does not have an RJ-11 connector, then connect it directly to the wall

jack. Do not remove the wrap plug from the

Receiving faxes

Tips for receiving faxes

When receiving faxes:

• Make sure that the printer is on and connected to a working telephone, DSL, or VoIP line. The line is working if

you hear a dial tone.

• If you set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off), then make sure that the ringer volume is not

set to Off.

• If you have set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), then load paper in the printer.

Receiving faxes automatically

1 Make sure that Auto Answer is on:

a From the printer control panel, press . b Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Fax Setup, and then press .

c Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Ringing and Answering, and then press .

d Press again to select Auto Answer.

e Check to see if Auto Answer is set to On.

If Auto Answer is not set to On, press the arrow buttons to scroll to On, and then press

to save the setting.

2 Set the number of rings before the printer picks up incoming faxes:

a Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Pick Up On, and then press .

b Press the arrow buttons to scroll to the number of rings that you want, and then press to save the setting.

Faxing

When the number of rings you set is detected, the printer automatically receives the incoming fax.

Tips:

• If the printer is sharing the line with other analog devices (telephone, answering machine), then set the printer

to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after six rings. This way, the answering machine picks up calls first and your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over the call. If the printer is on a dedicated fax line, then you may set the printer to pick up on any number of rings.

• If you have multiple numbers on a single line, or if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided by your

telephone company, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.

Receiving a fax manually

1 Turn off Auto Answer:

a From the printer control panel, press . b Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Fax Setup, and then press .

c Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Ringing and Answering, and then press .

d Press again to select Auto Answer.

e Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Off, and then press .

2 When the telephone rings and you hear fax tones when you pick up the handset, press on the printer or *9*

on the telephone attached to the printer.

Tips:

• The default code for answering faxes manually is *9*, but for more security, you can change it to a number that

only you know. You can enter up to 7 characters for your code. The valid characters are the digits 0-9 and the characters # and *.

• Make sure that the telephone is plugged into the port on the back of the printer and that the printer is

connected to the wall jack through the

port.

Faxing FAQ

If I skipped the fax setup initially, do I need to run the installer again to set up the fax?

You do not need to run the installer again. You can set up and configure the fax through the fax software that was installed with the printer software.

To set up the fax:

1 Connect the printer to the telephone line. For more information, see “Setting up the printer to fax” on page 62.

2 Configure the fax settings using the fax software. To access the fax software:

What is a splitter and what type of splitter should I use?

If there are limited wall jacks in your home or limited ports on your adapter, then you can use a phone splitter. A splitter splits the telephone signal and allows you to connect multiple devices to the wall jack. It has two or more ports where you can plug the devices. Do not use a line splitter.

To make sure that you are using the correct splitter, plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone.

What is my fax number?

In most cases, your telephone number is also your fax number. If you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) service offered by telephone companies, then your fax number is the number that you assigned to the printer. Make sure that you enter the correct distinctive ring pattern for that number in the fax software or in the Fax Setup menu of the printer control panel.

If you have more than one telephone line, then make sure that you enter the number for the line on which the printer is connected.

What is my dialing prefix?

The dialing prefix is the number or series of numbers that you press before you can dial the actual fax number or telephone number. If the printer is an office setting or in a private branch exchange, this can be a specific number that you need to press so you can make a call outside the office. This can also be a country code or an area code that you need to enter if you are sending faxes outside of town. This can be very useful if you frequently send faxes to the same country or area. When you set the dialing prefix in the utility, you do not need to press the number or series of numbers every time you dial the fax number or telephone number. The printer automatically inputs the prefix every time you dial.

You can enter up to 8 characters as your dialing prefix. The valid characters are the numbers 0-9 and the characters # and *. If you are using the fax software to enter the dial prefix, then you may also include the characters period, comma, star, pound, plus, minus, and parenthesis.

Faxing

When do I need to set Auto Answer to On?

Set Auto Answer to On if you want the printer to receive faxes automatically.

If the printer is connected to the same telephone line with an answering machine, then you must set Auto Answer to On so that you can receive both your voice calls and your faxes. Make sure that the answering machine is set to pick up on fewer rings than the rings set in the printer. This lets the other devices pick up the voice calls first. If an incoming call is a fax, the printer can detect fax signals on the line and takes the call.

How many rings should I set?

If the printer is sharing a line with an answering machine, then set the printer to pick up on the greater number of rings. Because you have only one line, there is no way of distinguishing a voice call from an incoming fax. You can set the number of rings so that the answering machine takes the voice calls and the printer takes the incoming faxes. If you set the other devices to pick up on fewer rings, then the devices pick up calls first, and your voice calls are received. If a call is a fax, then the printer can detect it and will take over the call.

If the printer is on a dedicated fax line, then you may set the printer to pick up on any number of rings that you want.

How do I set the distinctive ring for the printer?

Setting the correct ring is important if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature offered by telephone companies. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring pattern (a single ring, a double ring, a triple ring). The different ring patterns let you know what telephone number was dialed, and what device you should use to answer the call.

Assign one of your telephone numbers to the printer as the fax number, and then set the printer to answer the ring pattern of that number. If the pattern is set incorrectly, then the printer rings, but it never receives the fax.

To set the ring pattern in the printer:

1 From the printer control panel, press .

2 Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Fax Setup, and then press .

3 Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Ringing and Answering, and then press .

4 Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Ring Pattern, and then press .

5 Press the arrow buttons to select the ring pattern for the printer, and then press .

Distinctive Ring is also called Ident-a-Call, Smart Ring, Teen Ring, RingMaster, and IdentaRing.

Faxing

How can I check the dial tone?

A dial tone lets you know if the telephone line is working or if the printer is properly connected to the telephone line. If you encounter problems sending and receiving faxes, then make sure you can hear a dial tone on the line and through the printer.

Make sure the telephone line and the wall jack are working

1 Plug an analog telephone into the wall jack.

2 Listen for a dial tone through the telephone handset.

If you hear a dial tone, then the telephone line and the wall jack are working. If you do not hear a dial tone, plug the analog telephone into a second wall jack, and then listen for a dial tone.

If you hear a dial tone, then the telephone line is working but the first wall jack is not working.

Make sure the printer is connected properly to the telephone line

1 While the printer is connected to a telephone line through the port on the back of the printer, plug an analog

telephone into the

If you hear a dial tone, then the printer is set up correctly.

If you do not hear a dial tone through both the wall jack and the printer, then see “Fax troubleshooting checklist” on page 125.

port of the printer.

How do I adjust the speaker volume on the printer?

Listen to the dial tone to check if the telephone line is working and to check if the cables and devices are connected properly in your telephone network. Make sure that the dialing volume is not set to Off, especially if you are dialing a number on hook. If you set the printer to receive faxes manually, then make sure that you set the ringer volume loud enough for you to hear it.

1 From the printer control panel, press .

2 Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Fax Setup, and then press .

3 Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Dialing and Sending, and then press .

4 Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Dial Volume, and then press .

1 Press to scroll back to the Fax Setup menu.

2 Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Ringing and Answering, and then press .

3 Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Ringer Volume, and then press .

4 Press the arrow buttons to select a ringer volume setting, and then press .

Faxing

How can I make sure that the fax answers the call before the answering machine?

To make sure the printer picks up incoming faxes, set Auto Answer to On, and then set the printer to pick up after a greater number of rings than the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after five rings. This way, the answering machine picks up calls first and your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over the call.

What settings work best with digital voice mail?

Voice mail and fax can share the same telephone line if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring pattern (a single ring, a double ring, a triple ring). The different ring patterns let you know which telephone number was dialed, and which device you should use to answer the call.

If you do not have distinctive ring service, then set the printer to receive faxes manually (Aut o Answer Off). This setting lets you receive both voice calls and fax calls, but works best if you use voice mail more often. You need to turn off voice mail whenever you are expecting a fax.

How do I change the resolution of the documents that I fax?

The resolution, or fax quality, of the documents that you send may affect fax transmission. The receiving fax machine may not support high resolutions and may not be able to receive your fax. You can fix this by enabling Auto Fax Conversion, but the automatic conversion may result in an unreadable fax, especially if the original document is already blurred.

If an incoming fax or an outgoing fax fails due to power loss, then the printer automatically prints an error report the next time it is turned on. For incoming faxes, the error report lets you know who sent the fax and how many pages were not printed. For outgoing faxes, it lets you know how many pages were not sent. Faxes lost due to power loss are not retrievable.

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

• 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 se curity 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-shar ed 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.

• Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.

Networking

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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 (WP S) is a simple and secure c onfiguration that allows you to est ablish 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 SS ID of the wireless n etwork o r they will not be a ble to com municate wi th each o ther. Usua lly, the wireless n etwork 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

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 networ k adapters provide a software application that allows you to view the wireless set tings 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 allows you to access the wireless access point settings. The WEP key or WPA passphrase allows printers and computers 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.
