Page 77: Finding The Signal Strength
Finding the signal strength Wireless devices have built-in antennas that transmit and receive radio signals. The signal strength listed on the printer network setup page indicates how strongly a transmitted signal is being received. Many factors can affect the signal strength. One factor is interference from other wireless devices or other devices such as microwave ovens. Another factor is distance. - Page 78 EMOVE SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE Other types of radio frequencies can cause problems with the wireless signal on your network, resulting to printing issues that seem to come and go. • Turn off potential sources of interference where possible. • Avoid using microwave ovens, cordless phones (but not cellular phones), baby monitors, almost any kitchen appliance, wireless surveillance equipment, or any appliance containing a motor when printing over your wireless network.
- Page 79 Compare the SSID of the computer and SSID of the printer. If the SSIDs are the same, then the computer and the printer are connected to the same wireless network. If the SSIDs are not the same, then run the utility again to set up the printer on the wireless network used by the computer.
