General Tips 1. When connecting with initial setting router, sometimes wireless network is enabled only to the printer device. So, other devices could not be in wireless network. It's required to set security level such as WPA2 -PSK/AES in router setting, or required to setup as if the printer does not support WPS. 2. When WPS connection is not working properly by the router error, turning off/on the router could solve the problem. 3 . Able to check wireless connection between printer and router by ping test on PC. (Use the IP address from network configuration report) 4. If more than 2 APs are found when printer is seeking AP, the connection could be failed. 5. If wired network is connected to the printer, it's required to remover the LAN cable. 6. Printer supports security configurations such OPEN, WEP, WPA -Personal (WPA-PSK), WPA-Personal (WPA-PSK) modes. Other configuration could not be able to connect.
In ready mode, press WPS button on the printer for 3 seconds. Then WPS LED will flicker slowly and printer will seek AP for 2mins.

Trouble shootings 1. If the user turn on/off the wireless router often, the Printer IP can be changed every time and could fail to connect. So, it is recommended to set static IP address . The static IP should be in same range with PC IP address , but not the IP address in DHCP allocation range of the router . Ex. PC IP : 192.168.0.100, DHCP IP address range : from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199 / The printer IP should be like 19 2.168.0.99

2. Error messases 1) Connection failure - General Connection Error

2) Connection failu re - Not found SSID

USB connection error : Pull out USB cable and connect back. Then select "Try again and reconnect"

Can not find wireless router : Need to check router setting or start printer setting again.

3) Connection failure - PC connection Error

Communication failure between PC and Printer : Requried to check PC IP setting status. Go to cmd > ipconfig and check if the allocated IP to PC is correct. If the IP is like 169.254.x.x, it's required to renew IP or set IP configuration again. Execute cmd > ipconfig/release, and execute ipconfig/renew to get new IP address.

1. Check the connection status between printer and AP. - Check WPS LED. LED would be off when printer is off or in power saving mode. (Press power button) - WPS LED status . Off : not connected / Flickering : Connecting / On : Connected 2. Check followings - Whether the printer is conneced to other mobile devices. - Whether the distance between printer and router or the devices is far. - The printer and router or devices should be located within 50m without wall or other obstructions. . Also metal case near printer can stop the signal

3. Check the IP information set in Printer - Print out Network configuration report and check followings . If the IP address of printer is same as the IP address that the router allocated. : If not same, reboot wireless rou - If there is PC connected to wireless router, perform ping test (cmd > ping -t <ip address>) 4. Check printer driver(port) on PC. - In case of using DHCP, IP can be changed sometimes when turning off/on the router or printer for long time. - Re-install printer port to host name. - Change the printer IP to static and change printer port on PC to the IP address. - Configure router option to allocate same IP address to the printer. 5. Initialize printer network setting - Restore the printer network setting to default value on Easy printer manager

6. Check printer wireless module. - Print out network configuration report and check if wireless network information is shown - If not recognized, it will be not shown or shown like Not installed.
