Note Command names or menu names may vary and there may be more steps. For details, refer to the instructions for your application software.


2. Open the setup window from your printer icon

  1. Select the option that matches your Windows operating system:

    • Windows 11 - from the Desktop, select the Start menu > Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
      Then, select Devices and Printers.

    • Windows 10 - from the Desktop, select the Start menu > Devices > Scroll down to Devices and Printers.
