Print a network configuration page
Once connected, print a network page from the printer's settings menu. Note the IP address listed — you may need it later.

Test all devices
Send a small test print from each device you set up. Confirm each job completes successfully before considering the setup done.
Helpful Tips
- Place the printer within a good range of the router for a stable connection.
- A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band provides better range for printers than a 5 GHz band.
- If a device cannot find the printer, confirm both are on the same Wi-Fi network (not a guest network).
- Some mobile printing apps from printer manufacturers offer extra features like scanning.
- A wired ethernet connection is even more reliable than Wi-Fi if your printer supports it.
