Network Problems
■ Try connecting to the wireless router or access point with your computer or another
device to confirm that it is working correctly.
■ Try restarting the router (turn it off and then on), then try to connect to it again.
■ Print a Network Status Sheet (see page 31). Verify that the network settings are correct
and check the signal strength. If it is poor, try moving the product closer to your
router or access point. Avoid placing it next to a microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless
phone, or large metal object such as a filing cabinet.
■ If your wireless router doesn’t broadcast its network name (SSID), see your online
User’s Guide for instructions on manually entering your wireless network name.
■ If your wireless router has security enabled, make sure you entered the WEP key or
WPA passphrase correctly.
■ When using TCP/IP, make sure your network’s DHCP option is enabled (your router
manufacturer will be able to assist you with this setting).
■ Remove and reinsert the CD to reinstall your product software.
■ Disable the firewall temporarily to see if that may be causing the problem. Contact
your firewall manufacturer for assistance.
