Check3  Make sure that the printer is not placed far away from the access point.
The access point is located indoors within the effective range for wireless communication. Locate the printer within 164 ft. / 50 m from the access point.
Check4  Make sure that there is no obstruction.
Wireless communication between different rooms or floors is generally poor. Adjust the location of the devices.
Check5  Make sure that there is no source of radio wave interference in your vicinity.
If a device (e.g. microwave oven) using the same frequency bandwidth as the wireless station is placed
nearby, the device may cause interference. Place the wireless station as far away from the interference source
as possible.
Check6  Make sure that the network settings of the computer are correct.
For the procedures to connect a network device to the computer and set them up, refer to the instruction manual of your network device or contact its manufacturer.

between different rooms or floors is generally poor. The metal, concrete, or timber including the metallic material,
mud wall, or insulator may interrupt a wireless communication. If the printer cannot communicate with the
computer over a wireless LAN for the wall material, place the printer and the computer in the same room or floor.
Check3  Make sure that there is no source of interference in your vicinity.
If a device (e.g. microwave oven) using the same frequency bandwidth as the wireless station is placed nearby,
the device may cause interference. Place the wireless station as far away from the interference source as

Check1  Confirm the access point setting.
Refer to the instruction manual provided with the access point or contact its manufacturer to confirm the
access point setting. Make sure that the computer and the access point can communicate with each other
under this setting.
Check2  If you are performing MAC address filtering or IP address filtering at the
access point, confirm that the MAC address or IP address for both the computer or the
network device and the printer are registered.
Check3  If you are using a WEP or WPA/WPA2 key, make sure that the encryption
key for the computer or the network device and the printer matches that set to the
access point.
Besides the WEP key itself, the key length, key format, the key ID to use, and the authentication method must
match among the printer, the access point, and the computer.
Normally, select  Auto for the authentication method. If you want to specify the method manually, select  Open
