Wi-Fi Connections

Easy Wireless (Easy WL) Connect:

If your smartphone or tablet is already connected to a Wi-Fi router, you will be guided to connect the printer to that Wi-Fi router as well.

Wireless Direct connectivity is also provided if your smartphone or tablet is not connected to the Wi-Fi router.

Wireless Direct allows you to register the connection information of the printer on the smartphone or tablet.

If you cannot connect using this connection method, use the connection method described below.

Manual connection:

In this mode, the SSID of the Wi-Fi router is displayed on the printer display, you select the Wi-Fi router you want to connect to, and connect.

If the SSID does not appear on the printer's display due to stealth features, etc., enter the SSID directly to connect.

The SSID encryption key (network password) is required to connect.

After completing the settings, it is recommended to check the signal strength of the connected Wi-Fi on the Wi-Fi setting list screen, as the SSID selected at the time of connection may have a weak signal strength.

You can select the signal strength by selecting LAN settings > Wi-Fi > See settings on the operation panel.

WPS connection:

This mode connects using the Wi-Fi router button. Set the printer to WPS connection mode, then press and hold the WPS button on the Wi-Fi router within 2 minutes. The name of the WPS button may differ depending on the manufacturer.

WPS (PIN) connection:

Display or print the connection information of the printer's WPS (PIN) and check it. This mode registers the PIN on the Wi-Fi router and connects. It is necessary to connect to the Wi-Fi router with a computer/smartphone in advance and display the setting screen.

Important

  • If the Wi-Fi router is configured with a privacy separator, isolation function, MAC address filtering, or IP address filtering, etc., communication between the computer and the printer may not be possible. Disable these settings on the Wi-Fi router or change the settings on the Wi-Fi router to make it possible to use the printer.
