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.

From the printer control panel, navigate to:

Menu Settings Page

Note:
If you have not changed any menu settings, then the menu settings page lists all the factory default settings.
Settings saved from the menus replace the factory default settings as

. A user default setting
remains in effect until you access the menu again, select another value, and save it.
