    Open wireless setup

    Use the printer control panel to open Network, Wireless or Wi-Fi Setup.

  3. 3
    Select the Wi-Fi name

    Choose the intended network and enter the password carefully; passwords are case-sensitive.

  4. 4
    Add the printer

    Open printer settings on the computer or mobile device and select Add Printer or Add Device.

  5. 5
    Print a test page

    Confirm the printer can receive and complete a basic print job.

Network tip: The printer and sending device generally need to be on the same local network. Guest networks may prevent printer discovery.

Offline status

What to check when a printer shows offline

An offline message usually means the computer cannot currently communicate with the selected printer.

General diagnostic flow

Troubleshoot in the right order

1. Read the printer status

Note the exact error message, indicator light or display icon.

2. Check physical basics

Power, paper, doors, jams, supplies and connection cables.

3. Verify the connection

USB, Ethernet or the correct Wi-Fi network.

4. Review the print queue

Clear stuck jobs and make sure printing is not paused.

5. Print a device test page

Separate printer hardware issues from computer or application issues.

6. Use model-specific guidance

Refer to the official manual or qualified local repair service when necessary.

Stop using the printer if you notice smoke, sparks, a burning smell, liquid damage, unusual heat or exposed electrical components. Seek qualified local repair assistance.
