Before you begin

Before you begin setting up the wireless connection, check the following:

The printer is not connected to the network using a network cable.

The wireless network is set up and functioning correctly.

The printer and the computers that use the printer are on the same network (subnet).

While connecting the printer, you might be prompted to enter the wireless network name (SSID) and

a wireless password.

The wireless network name is the name of your wireless network.

The wireless password prevents other people from connecting to your wireless network without

your permission. Depending on the level of security required, your wireless network might use

either a WPA key or WEP passphrase.

If you have not changed the network name or the security passkey since setting up your wireless

network, you can sometimes find them on the back or side of the wireless router.

If you cannot find the network name or the security passkey or cannot remember this information, see

the documentation available with your computer or with the wireless router. If you still cannot find this

information, contact your network administrator or the person who set up the wireless network.

TIP: If you are using a computer running Windows, use the HP Print and Scan Doctor to help

diagnose and get assistance in installing and using HP printers on your home network. To use this

tool, visit the HP Wireless Printing Center (www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting), and then click Print and

Scan Doctor in the Quick Links section.
