Checking the Connection (Network)
❏
If you cannot print over a network, see the page that describes the network connection method from the
computer.
❏
If the printing speed is slow or printing pauses, there may be a connection problem with the network devices.
Move the printer closer to the access point, and then turn the access point off and then on. If this does not clear
the problem, see the documentation provided with your access point.
❏
When you have changed your access point or provider, try making network settings for the printer again.
Connect the computer or smart device to the same SSID as the printer.
❏
Turn off the devices you want to connect to the network. Wait for about 10 seconds, and then turn on the
devices in the following order; access point, computer or smart device, and then printer. Move the printer and
computer or smart device closer to the access point to help with radio wave communication, and then try to
make network settings again.
❏
Print the network connection report. See the related information link below for details. If the report shows that
the network connection failed, check the network connection report and then follow the printed solutions.
❏
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 the access point or reset the network settings for the printer. If this does
not solve the problem, see the documentation for the access point.
❏
Try accessing any website from your computer to make sure that your computer's network settings are correct.
If you cannot access any website, there is a problem on the computer. Check the network connection of the
computer.
