    Note If the timeout error screen appears, press OK, then start over from step 4.

  7. Your printer is now connected to your Wi-Fi network.

 If the printer fails to connect after following the steps above

  • Try to connect again.

  • If the printer still fails to connect, unplug your wireless router for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. After it has finished rebooting, try the steps above again.

  • If the printer still fails to connect, you may have certain settings enabled in your router which would prevent the printer from connecting, such as MAC address filtering. You may need to check your router's internal settings to see if MAC address filtering or any other options would prevent the printer from wirelessly connecting.

     Please refer to your router's documentation for more information.
