To connect a printer to a new network, follow these general steps:
1. **Prepare the network**: Ensure your new router’s Wi-Fi network is active and you know the SSID (network name) and Wi-Fi password.
2. **Power on the printer**: Turn on your printer and access its control panel or settings menu to find the network or Wi-Fi setup options.
3. **Access Wi-Fi settings on the printer**: Navigate to the wireless settings. This may be called “Wireless,” “Wi-Fi,” “Network,” or similar, depending on the printer model.
4. **Select your new network SSID**: From the available Wi-Fi networks displayed on the printer, select your new router’s SSID.
5. **Enter the Wi-Fi password**: Input the Wi-Fi password for your new network to connect the printer.
6. **Confirm connection**: Once connected, your printer typically shows a Wi-Fi icon or confirmation message.
Alternatively, if your printer and router support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup):
– Put your printer in WPS mode (often by holding a wireless button until a light flashes).
– Press the WPS button on your router within two minutes.
– The devices will connect automatically without entering a password.
You may also connect via an Ethernet cable or through your printer’s mobile app if applicable.
Once connected, ensure your computer or devices are on the same network to print wirelessly.
If you have a specific printer brand or model, you may want to consult its manual or manufacturer website for precise instructions tailored to your device[1][3][4].
