Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange during installation
(Macintosh only)
When the Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange, it indicates that the printer has been set up for wireless networking
but cannot connect to the network for which it has been configured. The printer may be unable to join the network
because of interference, its distance from the wireless access point (wireless router), or until its settings are changed.
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

INTERFERENCE
There may be temporary interference from other devices such as microwave ovens or other appliances, cordless
phones, baby monitors, and security system cameras. Make sure the wireless access point is not positioned too
closely to these devices.

ANTENNAS
Antennas usually work best if they are pointing straight up. You may find that reception improves if you experiment
with different angles for the printer and/or wireless access point antennas.
M
OVE
YOUR
PRINTER
Move the printer closer to the wireless access point. Although the possible distance between devices in 802.11b
or 802.11g networks is 300 feet, the effective range for optimal performance is generally 100–150 feet.
You can find the signal strength of the network on the network setup page.
