Connect laptop port (selected models only)
If the printer is connected to a desktop computer through the rear USB port and you decide to connect a laptop
computer to the printer through the Quick Connect laptop port, then the Quick Connect laptop port connection
overrides the rear USB port connection. The active print jobs on the desktop computer may be canceled. Pause or
cancel active jobs on the desktop computer before switching between ports.

							Installing the printer on a wireless network
(selected models only)
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.
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.
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.
or
Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
If your wireless access point (wireless router) 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.
or
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. Using a wireless network with no
security is not recommended because it can allow intruders to use your network resources without your consent.
Note: Make sure you copy down the security key and SSID exactly, including any capital letters, and store it in a safe
place for future reference. Use the table provided below to write down this information.
ItemDescription
SSID (name of your wireless network)
Security key (WEP key or WPA passphrase)
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 (wireless router), or contact your
system support person.

							4If there is an associate/registration button on the back of your box, press it when you are prompted to choose a
network.
Note: After pressing the associate/register button, you have five minutes to complete the printer installation.
5Return to the computer screen, and choose the network you want to connect to. If you want to use the network

with the box, or from the box Web page. If you have already changed the key for your wireless network, use the
key you created.
7Follow the instructions on your screen to complete installation.
Configuring an IP address manually
The printer will be assigned an IP address automatically through DHCP on most wireless networks.
During wireless setup, you will be asked to manually assign an IP address to the printer in the following situations:
You manually assigned IP addresses for the other network devices.
You want to assign a specific IP address.
You moved the printer to a remote subnet.
For more information, contact your system support person.
Interpreting the colors of the Wi-Fi indicator light
The Wi-Fi indicator light helps you determine the network status of the printer.
The following describes what the colors of the Wi-Fi indicator light mean.
Off may indicate that the printer is off, the printer is in the initial power-up state, the internal print server is not
installed, or the internal print server is not properly connected.
The light should be in this state:
–When the printer is turned off
–When the printer is in power saver mode
–When the printer does not have an internal print server installed and you want to connect the printer to the
computer using a USB cable
Orange may indicate that the printer is being configured for use on the wireless network, the internal print server
is not configured in infrastructure mode, or the internal print server is waiting to be configured for ad hoc mode.
The light should be in this state:
–When you want to use the printer without a computer
–When you want to set up the printer on your wireless network
–When the printer is set up for an ad hoc network and is broadcasting its wireless network name (SSID)

							Blinking orange may indicate that:
–The printer is out of the range of the wireless access point (wireless router).
–The printer is trying to communicate with the wireless access point (wireless router), but the wireless access
point (wireless router) may be turned off or not working properly.
–The printer is trying to establish communication with the wireless access point (wireless router).
This is true if you have already configured the printer for use on your wireless network. When the printer has
been configured, any time you turn the printer off and then turn it back on, the internal print server in the
printer will try to connect to your wireless access point (wireless router).
–The wireless settings of the printer may no longer be valid.
Green indicates that the printer is connected to a wireless network.
The light should be in this state when you want to start using the printer that is already set up on your wireless
network.
Blinking green indicates that the printer internal print server is being updated.

Advanced wireless setup
Creating an ad hoc wireless network
The recommended way to set up your wireless network is to use a wireless access point (wireless router). A network
set up this way is called an infrastructure network. If you have an infrastructure network in your home, you should
configure your printer for use on that network.
If you do not have a wireless access point or would like to set up a standalone network between your printer and a
computer with a wireless network adapter, then you can set up an ad hoc network.
In Windows Vista
1Click .
2Click Control Panel.
3Click Network and Internet.
4Under Network and Sharing Center, click Connect to a Network.

							5In the Connect to a Network dialog, click Set up a wireless ad-hoc (computer-to-computer) network, and then
click Next.
6Follow the instructions in the “Set up a wireless ad hoc network” wizard. As part of the setup:
aCreate a network name or SSID for the network between the computer and your printer.
bWrite the name of your network in the space provided so you can refer to it when running the wireless setup.
Make sure you copy the exact spelling and capitalization.
SSID (name of your wireless network)
cGo to the Security Type drop-down list, choose WEP, and then create a security key (or password).
WEP keys must be:
Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found
on a keyboard.
Note: Security is optional for ad hoc networks. The range of an ad hoc network is much less than the
range of an infrastructure network, making it less likely that intruders will connect to it without your
knowledge.
dWrite the password for your network in the space provided so you can refer to it when running the wireless
setup. Make sure you copy the exact spelling and capitalization.
Security key (if network is secure)
Windows Vista will enable the ad hoc network for you. It will appear in the “Connect to a network” dialog under
“Available networks,” indicating that the computer is configured for the ad hoc network.
