1. Step 1 Choose the best location for your wireless printer. It needs to be placed in a destination that's easy to access for all users in your home. To prevent difficulties, avoid putting it directly on the floor or next to other wireless electronics equipment. Having a clear and unobstructed connection will provide you with better signal strength to your wireless router. Step 2 Gain access to your wireless router settings. You'll need the existing network name or SSID and your wireless security passphrase. Without this information, you won't be able to proceed through the setup process. Press the "Menu" button on your wireless printer to get to the network settings. Scroll through the options on the printer display window until you get to "WiFi Setup." Step 3 Pick the listed wireless network that belongs to you and press the "OK" button to confirm it. When prompted, enter the passphrase that keeps unauthorized users away. Then press the "Done" button. Within a few seconds, the information you've entered will be processed for accuracy. Step 4 View the display window on your wireless printer and check the current status. If you've entered all of the correct data for the WiFi setup, you'll be able to install the printer drivers onto your computer system. Step 5 Set aside a few minutes to go through each important step of adding the wireless printer to your home network. Insert the installation CD that came with your printer into your computer. Follow the onscreen instructions to properly set up the device to function correctly. All of the necessary files will need to be added before you can successfully move on to the next phase of installation. Step 6 Click the "Start" option on your computer and select the printer-manufacturer link. Then choose "Network Setup Utility" to move forward. From the list of options, press "Connect Via Network- Wireless/WiFi." The printer drivers will automatically install onto your computer within a few minutes. Select the "Done" button when the process has finished and begin printing wirelessly.
