Cannot Print Over a Network

If you cannot print over a network, try these solutions:

• Make sure that your product is turned on.

• Make sure you install your product's network software as described in your product documentation.

• Print a network status sheet and verify that the network settings are correct. If the network status is

Disconnected

, check any cable connections and turn your product off and then on again.

• Print a network connection report and check the codes and messages on the report to help determine

the cause of the problem.

• If you are using TCP/IP, make sure the product's IP address is set correctly for your network. If your

network does not assign IP addresses using DHCP, set the IP address manually. If the IP address
assigned to the printer is 169.254.xxx.xxx and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, the IP address may not
be assigned correctly. Restart your wireless router or reset the printer's network settings.

• Make sure your computer and product are both using the same wireless network.

• If network printing is slow, print a network status sheet and check the signal strength. If it is poor, place

your product closer to your router or access point. Avoid placing your product near a microwave oven,
cordless phone, or large metal object, such as a filing cabinet.

Note for Latin America:

If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual

band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) mode. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band, give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home
Network 2.4 GHz and Home Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet
service provider for instructions.
