Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange during installation
(Windows only)
When the Wi-Fi indicator light is blinking orange, it indicates that the printer has been set up for wireless
networking but cannot connect to the network for which it has been configured. The printer may be unable
to join the network because of interference, its distance from the wireless access point (wireless router),
or until its settings are changed.
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
M
AKE SURE THE ACCESS POINT IS ON
Check the access point and, if necessary, turn it on.
M
OVE YOUR ACCESS POINT TO MINIMIZE INTERFERENCE
There may be temporary interference from other devices such as microwave ovens or other appliances,
cordless phones, baby monitors, and security system cameras. Make sure your access point is not
positioned too closely to these devices.
T
RY ADJUSTING EXTERNAL ANTENNAS
Antennas usually work best if they are pointing straight up. You may find that reception improves if
you experiment with different angles for the printer and/or wireless access point antennas.
M
OVE YOUR PRINTER
Move the printer closer to the access point. Although the possible distance between devices in 802.11b
or 802.11g networks is 300 feet, the maximum range for optimal performance is generally 100–150 feet.
You can find the signal strength of the network on the network setup page.
C
HECK SECURITY KEYS
If you are using WEP security
A valid WEP key is:
•
Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
•
Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
If you are using WPA security
A valid WPA passphrase is:
•
From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
• Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key. Using a wireless
network with no security is not recommended because it can allow intruders to use your network
resources without your consent.
C
HECK
MAC
ADDRESS
If your network uses MAC address filtering, make sure that you include the MAC address of the printer
in the MAC address filter list. This will allow the printer to operate on the network. For more information,
see “How do I find the MAC address?” on page 17.
