How do you want to connect the printer to your 
devices?

Read the benefits of each method and click on your selection.

Directly with a USB cord

This method directly connects your 
printer to your computer using a USB 
cord.  Your printer must be located 
within the cord’s reach of the 
computer. The USB cord was shipped 
with your printer. 

This method is 

not

recommended if 

you plan to print from mobile devices, 
or use Centreware Internet Services to 
access the printer’s Advanced 
Settings. 

Through the network with an 
Ethernet cord

This method connects your printer to 
your network using a cable.  Any 
computer or device that is also on the 
network can print to it.  The Ethernet 
cord is not provided.

If you do not have a wireless network 
router, you can use 

Wi-Fi direct 

to 

print from devices that are not on the 
network. The networked printer can be 
configured to emit a signal that 
devices can directly connect to.

Through the network via Wi-Fi

This method wirelessly connects your 
printer to your home office network. 
Any computer or device that is also on 
the network can print to it.  You must 
have a wireless router and a good Wi-
Fi signal.

You can also enable 

Wi-Fi direct 

to 

print from devices that are not on the 
network. The networked printer can be 
configured to emit a signal that 
devices can directly connect to.
