Other problems

If problems occur while using the machine on a network, check the
following:

For information on the access point (or wireless router), refer
to its own user's guide.

Your computer, access point (or wireless router), or machine may
not be turned on.

Check the wireless reception around the machine. If the router is
far from the machine or there is an obstacle, you might have
difficulty receiving the signal.

Cycle the power for the access point (or wireless router), machine,
and computer. Sometimes cycling the power can recover
network communication.

Check whether firewall software (V3 or Norton) is blocking the
communication.

If the computer and the machine are connected on the same
network and it cannot be found when searching, firewall
software might be blocking the communication. Refer to the
user's guide for the software to turn it off and try searching for the
machine again.

Check whether the machine's IP address is allocated correctly.
You can check the IP address by printing the network
configuration report.

Check whether the access point (or wireless router) has a
configured security (password). If it has a password, refer to the
access point (or wireless router) administrator.

Check the machine's IP address. Reinstall the machine driver and
change the settings to connect to the machine on the network.
Due to the characteristics of DHCP, the allocated IP address could
change if the machine is not used for a long time or if the access
point has been reset.

Check the wireless environment. You might not be able to
connect to the network in the infrastructure environment where
you need to type in a user's information before connecting to
access point (or wireless router).

This machine only supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and Wi-Fi. Other
wireless communication types (e.g., Bluetooth) are not
supported.
