  If the steps above did not help, check the solutions below:

  Make sure the product is turned on. Check that the link LED for the port your product is connected to on your router, access point, switch, or hub is on or flashing. If the link LED is off, try the following:

  • Check the product's LCD for any error messages and follow any instructions provided to clear the error message.
  • Make sure you are choosing the correct printer when printing. If there are multiple copies of the same printer, remove the ones not in use.
  • Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the LAN port on the product and to any available LAN port on your router, access point, switch, or hub.
  • Try connecting the product to a different port on your router, access point, switch, or hub.
  • Try connecting the product to another router, access point, switch, or hub.
  • Try connecting the product using a different Ethernet cable.
