Setting Up Your Product with Wi-Fi Auto Connect

Your product broadcasts its network information for 60 minutes from the time ink charging begins. If you run the product's software setup package within this 60 minute period, the software automatically connects the product to your wireless network without you having to enter your network name (SSID) and password.

If it has been longer than 60 minutes since the product was first charged with ink, see one of the other sections on setting up your product wirelessly (using the control panel or a temporary USB connection) instead.

Note: If your computer does not have a CD/DVD drive or you are using a Mac, an Internet connection is required to obtain the product software.
