Prepare Your Printer and Network

Before embarking on the setup process, ensure that your printer is powered on and connected to a power outlet. Additionally, make sure that your wireless network is functioning correctly and that you have the network password at hand.

Connect via WPS

If your wireless router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can use this method for a quick and easy connection.

2. Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS button on your printer for a few seconds until the wireless indicator light starts blinking.
3. Wait for a few minutes until the printer establishes a connection with your network.

Connect via USB Cable

If WPS is not supported on your router, you can connect your printer via a USB cable.

1. Connect one end of the USB cable to your printer and the other end to a USB port on your computer.
2. Open the Control Panel on your computer and navigate to “Devices and Printers.”
3. Click on “Add a printer” and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Once the printer is detected, select it and click on “Connect.”

Connect via Wi-Fi Direct

Wi-Fi Direct allows you to connect your printer directly to your computer or mobile device without using a wireless router.

1. On your printer, press the Wi-Fi Direct button.
2. On your computer or mobile device, go to the Wi-Fi settings and look for the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct network.
3. Connect to the network using the default password provided in the printer manual.

Once your printer is connected to your network, you need to install the printer drivers to enable communication between your computer and the printer.

Configure Printer Settings

After installing the printer drivers, you can configure various settings on your printer.

Troubleshooting
