Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If error W-02 is present, look for a flashing Wi-Fi icon on the display. If the wireless light is off, the printer is not communicating with your access point.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Reboot Router: Power off your router for 30 seconds and turn it back on.
  2. Network Check: Ensure your device is connecting to a 2.4GHz network, as 5GHz may not be supported.
  3. Run Setup Wizard: Access the Wi-Fi settings menu on the printer and run the connection wizard.

Prevention and Maintenance

Keep your printer firmware up to date to prevent network handshake failures. If using third-party inks, ensure chips are clean and fully seated.

When to call a technician

If the printer fails to connect even when placed right next to the router, the internal network card may be faulty.
