Wireless Signal Indicator Description
SIGNAL STRENGTH and
SIGNAL QUALITY
When these indicators display percentages, the wireless radio card is
communicating with the network. The higher the number is, the better the
connection is between the printer and the network.
If your printer indicates a signal strength but you cannot communicate with
the printer from your computer, move the printer to a different location to
try to get a better signal strength or signal quality. This situation could also
indicate that the printer is associated with, but not authenticated with, your
access point.
NOISE LEVEL
This number indicates any electrical interference with the wireless signal.
If your printer cannot communicate with the network and the noise level is
high, move the printer to a location that is free of interference.
