View and print network settings
You can display a summary of the network settings on the printer control panel or the HP software
that came with the printer. You can print a more detailed network configuration page, which lists
all of the important network settings such as the IP address, link speed, DNS, and mDNS. For
more information, see Understand the network configuration page (HP Officejet 4620 e-All-in-One
series).
Turn the wireless radio on and off
The wireless radio is on by default, as indicated by the blue light on the front of the printer. In
order to stay connected to a wireless network, the radio must stay on. However, if you have
a USB connection, the radio is not used. In this case you might want to turn the radio off.
1. Press the (Wireless) button, and then, using the buttons on the right, scroll to and select
Wireless Settings.
2. Select Wireless: On/Off, and then select On to turn on the radio, or Off to turn off the radio.
