Set Up A Wireless Printer
Connecting The Printer To Wireless Network
Before you begin the wireless connectivity process, make sure that you have configured your printer correctly. Check if your wireless router is turned ON and ready for the setup process.
Now, turn your printer ON.
The wireless connectivity process may vary based on the printer model, but the overall procedure is the same.
Printer’s With A Built-In Menu
Refer to your printer’s user guide to know the exact procedure to connect the printer to the network. If your printer’s user guide is not available or damaged, download it from the official support site.
Printer’s With The WPS Button
The WPS method is the simple and easiest way to set up a wireless printer connection. To perform this method, you need a router that supports WPS. Press the WPS button on your printer’s control panel. Now, locate and press the WPS button on the wireless router within 2 minutes. Once the printer is linked to the network, the message similar to Connected Successfully or Connected will be displayed on the printer.
Printer’s Without A Built-In Menu
Most of the old-model wireless printers don’t have a built-in menu. In this case, use a USB cable to temporarily connect the printer to the wireless network. First, connect your computer to the Wi-Fi network. Next, connect the printer to your computer using the USB cable. Now, open the printer driver file. Perform the on-screen instructions to complete the wireless connectivity process.
Now, your printer will be connected to the wireless network successfully. The next step is to add your Wireless Printer on a Windows or Mac computer.
