Choose your connection

You can connect your printer to your existing wireless network
or directly to your computer using a USB cable (not included).
See below for details on each connection method.
Note: Do not connect the printer to your computer until you're
instructed to do so.
Wireless connection
You must install the software on every computer from which
you want to print. For the first installation, we recommend
using a temporary USB connection to simplify wireless setup.
After the printer is connected to the network, you will be
prompted to remove the cable.
If you're using Mac OS ® X 10.6 or don't have a USB cable,
you need to use the buttons on the printer to select wireless
settings.
Make sure you know your network name (SSID) and network
password:
• Network name
• Network password
If you don't have this information, contact the person who set
up your network.
Direct USB connection
Make sure you have a USB cable (not included).
