Diagnóstico rápido

When the Wi-Fi icon shows an error, check if the printer has a valid IP address in the 'Network Information' printout. If the IP address is 0.0.0.0, the printer is not successfully communicating with the router.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Reboot router: Power cycle your router to refresh the local network table.
  2. Reset network: Go to the printer's Network settings and perform a full reset.
  3. Scan networks: Use the wireless setup wizard to locate your SSID.
  4. Authenticating: Enter your network password carefully to establish a new handshake.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use a static IP address to prevent lease expirations. Place the printer close enough to the router to ensure high signal strength and minimal packet loss.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico
