  • Make sure you're choosing the correct printer when printing. If there are multiple copies of the same printer driver, remove the ones not in use.
  • Check the lights on the product for an error. If there's an error, see the product's User's Guide for instructions to correct the error.
  • Make sure your product is connected to your network. If the WiFi light on your product is off, you'll need to re-establish the WiFi connection.

    If your router has a WPS button, press the WPS button, then press the Wi-Fi button on the product for 3 seconds. After 1 minute, the WiFi connection light should be on. If the light is on, the connection has been re-established. If the light is off or flashing, try the solutions below.

    • Check the router for error messages and see your router's documentation to clear the error.
    • Make sure the product is within range of the wireless router or wireless access point.
    • Avoid placing the printer near a microwave oven, 2.4 GHz cordless phone, or large metal objects such as a filing cabinet.
