Using the control panel, navigate to the “Network” or “Wireless” settings. This section allows you to configure the printer’s network connection.
4. Enable Wireless
Within the network settings, locate the option to enable wireless connectivity. Select “On” or “Enable” to activate the wireless feature on your printer.
5. Search for Available Networks
After enabling wireless, the printer will search for available Wi-Fi networks. A list of detected networks will appear on the control panel.

From the list of available networks, select your home or office Wi-Fi network. If you have a hidden network, you may need to enter the network name manually.
7. Enter Network Credentials
If prompted, enter the Wi-Fi password for your network. This is the password you use to connect to your Wi-Fi router. Make sure to enter the correct password to establish a successful connection.
8. Confirm Connection
After entering the network credentials, the printer will attempt to connect to the selected Wi-Fi network. Once the connection is established, a confirmation message will appear on the control panel.
