To connect your printer to Wi-Fi, follow these general steps:
1. **Turn on your printer** and make sure it is within range of your wireless network.
2. **Access the printer’s control panel or touchscreen menu** and navigate to the wireless settings or network setup section.
3. **Select the Wireless Setup Wizard** or equivalent option that allows you to scan for available Wi-Fi networks.
4. **Choose your Wi-Fi network name (SSID)** from the list.
5. **Enter your Wi-Fi password** when prompted.
6. Wait for the printer to connect to the network; it may display a confirmation message once connected.
If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can alternatively:
– Put your printer into WPS mode (check your printer’s manual on how to do this).
– Press the WPS button on your router within two minutes.
– The printer and router will automatically connect without entering the password.
After connecting, **make sure your computer or device is on the same Wi-Fi network** to send print jobs. You may need to install or update the printer software on your computer, which can usually be found on the manufacturer’s website.
If your printer does not have built-in Wi-Fi, you can use a **wireless print server** or **USB wireless adapter** to add wireless functionality.
These instructions apply broadly, but exact steps may vary by printer brand and model. Consult your printer’s manual for model-specific guidance[1][3][4].
