Connecting the printer to a wireless network using the Embedded Web
Server
Before you begin, make sure that:
•
Your printer is connected temporarily to an Ethernet network.
•
A wireless network adapter is installed in your printer and working properly. For more information, see the
instruction sheet that came with the wireless network adapter.

Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
Notes:
•
View the printer IP address on the printer control panel. The IP address appears as four sets of
numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
•
If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.

Changing port settings after installing an internal solutions port
Notes:
•
If the printer has a static IP address, then do not change the configuration.
•
If the computers are configured to use the network name instead of an IP address, then do not change
the configuration.
•
If you are adding a wireless internal solutions port (ISP) to a printer previously configured for an Ethernet
connection, then disconnect the printer from the Ethernet network.
