							What is a MAC address?
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a 48-bit identifier associated with the hardware of network equipment. The
MAC address may also be called the physical address because it is connected to the hardware of a device instead of
its software. The MAC address is displayed as a hexadecimal number in this format: 01-23-45-67-89-AB.
Every device capable of communicating on a network has a MAC address. Network printers, computers, and routers,
whether Ethernet or wireless, all have MAC addresses.
While it is possible to change the MAC address of a network device, it is not common practice  t o  d o  s o .  F o r  t h i s  r e a s o n ,
MAC addresses are considered permanent. IP addresses are easily changed, so MAC addresses are a more reliable
method of identifying a specific device on a network.
Routers with security capabilities may allow filtering of MAC addresses on networks. This allows a managed list of
devices to access the network, identified by their MAC addresses. MAC address filtering can help prevent access on
the network from unwanted devices, such as from intruders on a wireless network. MAC address filtering can also
prevent legitimate access if you forget to add a new device to the router's list of allowed addresses. If your network
uses MAC address filtering, be sure to add the MAC address of the printer to the list of allowed devices.
How do I find the MAC address?
Most network equipment has a unique hardware identification number to distinguish it from other devices on the
network. This is called the Media Access Control (MAC) address.
The MAC address is a series of letters and numbers located on the back of your printer.
Note: A list of MAC addresses can be set on an access point (router) so that only devices with matching MAC addresses
are allowed to operate on the network. This is called MAC filtering. If MAC filtering is enabled in your access point
(router) and you want to add a printer to your network, the MAC address of the printer must be included in the MAC
filter list.
What is an IP address?
An IP address is a unique number used by devices (such as a wireless printer, computer, or wireless access point) on
an IP network to locate and communicate with each other. Devices on an IP network can communicate with each
other only if they have unique and valid IP addresses. A unique IP address means no two devices on the same network
have the same IP address.
An IP address is a group of four numbers separated by periods. An example of an IP address is 192.168.100.110.

							What is TCP/IP?
Networks are able to function because computers, printers, and other devices are able to send data to each other,
either through cables or by using wireless signals. This transfer of data is made possible by sets of data transmission
rules called protocols. A protocol can be thought of as a language, and like a language, it has rules allowing participants
to communicate with each other.
Different types of networks use different protocols, but Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the
most popular. TCP/IP is used to send data over the Internet as well as over most corporate and home networks.
Because computers do not understand words and instead rely upon numbers for communication, TCP/IP requires
that every device on a network using TCP/IP to communicate must have an IP address. IP addresses are essentially
unique computer names in a numeric format, used to transfer data around a network. IP addresses allow TCP/IP to
confirm requests for and receipt of data by various devices on the network.
How do I locate IP addresses?

How to locate a printer IP address
You can locate the printer IP address by viewing the printer network setup page.
How are IP addresses assigned?
An IP address may be assigned automatically by the network using DHCP. Once the printer is set up on a computer,
the computer sends all print jobs across the network to the printer using this address.
If the IP address is not automatically assigned, you will be asked during wireless setup to manually enter an address
and other network information after selecting your printer from the available list.
What is a key index?
A wireless access point (wireless router) can be configured with as many as four WEP keys. Only one key is used on
the network at a time, however. The keys are numbered, and the number of a key is referred to as its key index. All
devices on the wireless network must be configured to use the same key index when multiple WEP keys are configured
on the wireless access point (wireless router).
The printer is designed to use the first key. Make sure you have configured all of the wireless devices on your network
to use the first WEP key where you have the option of selecting a key. Make sure the wireless access point (wireless
router) is also configured to use the first key. The first key will usually have an index of 0, though it may be 1 on some
devices.

							Loading paper
Loading paper
1Make sure:
You use paper designed for inkjet printers.
If you are using photo, glossy, or heavyweight matte paper, you load it with the glossy or printable side facing
you. (If you are not sure which side is the printable side, see the instructions that came with the paper.)
The paper is not used or damaged.
If you are using specialty paper, you follow the instructions that came with it.
You do not force paper into the printer.
2Before loading paper the first time, slide the paper guides out toward the edges of the paper support.
3Load the paper vertically in the center of the paper support, and adjust the paper guides to rest against the edges
of the paper.
Note: To avoid paper jams, make sure the paper does not buckle when you adjust the paper guides.
Loading various paper types
Plain paper
You can load up to 100 sheets (depending on the thickness).
Make sure:
The paper is designed for use with inkjet printers.
The paper is loaded in the center of the paper support.
The paper guides rest against the edges of the paper.
Heavyweight matte paper, photo paper, glossy paper
You can load up to 25 sheets.
Make sure:
The glossy or printable side of the paper faces you. (If you are not sure which side is the printable side, then see
the instructions that came with the paper.)
The paper is loaded in the center of the paper support.

Using the automatic paper type sensor
The printer is equipped with an automatic paper type sensing device. The Paper Type Sensor automatically detects
the type of paper that has been loaded into the printer and adjusts the settings for you. For example, if you want to
print a photo, load photo paper into the printer. The printer detects the type of paper and automatically adjusts the
settings to give you optimum photo-printing results.
