Connection options
Wireless connection
You must install the software on every computer from which 
you want to print. For the first installation, we recommend 
using a temporary USB cable connection to simplify wireless 
setup. After the printer is connected to the network, you will 
be prompted to remove the cable.
If you’re using Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, or you don’t have 
a USB cable, you will need to use the control panel on the 
printer to select wireless settings. Follow the instructions on 
your computer screen during software installation; they will 
explain how to connect the printer wirelessly this way.
 Make sure you know your network name (SSID) and network 
password:
•  Network name 
•  Network password 
If you don’t have this information, contact the person who set 
up your network.
Direct USB connection
Make sure you have a USB cable (not included). 
Wired network connection
Make sure you have an Ethernet
®
 network cable (not 
included). You must install the software on every computer 
from which you want to print. 
Any problems?
If you experience problems during setup, see below: 
Network setup was unsuccessful.
•  Make sure you select the right network name (SSID).

Unblock or Allow 
to let setup continue.

your network password (WEP key or WPA passphrase) 
correctly. If it has uppercase (
ABC) or lowercase (abc
letters, make sure you enter them correctly.
