You can use a LAN or USB cable for a wired connection.
Any of the following information about wireless connections can help increase the printing or scanning speed over your wireless network.
- If you are on a wireless channel with a lot of traffic, and if you are not on one of the 802.11 Wi-Fi standard recommended wireless channels (1, 6, or 11 for best channel frequency spread), try switching the channel of your wireless router.
- Point your router's antennas away from power cords and other computer wires.
- Make sure your printer is not too close to your computer.
- When your printer is connected, make sure it is not too far from the wireless router. Although your printer's 802.11g Wi-Fi radio can support a range of up to 120 ft, for optimum performance, keep your printer 15 to 30 ft from your wireless router.
- Slow wireless printer performance can be caused by interference from:
- other 2.4 GHz wireless devices, including:
- baby monitors
- wireless routers
- wireless game controllers
- wireless voice headsets and speakers
- video and audio streaming
- microwave ovens
- cordless phones - 2.4 GHz phones will cause the most interference for 802.11 Wi-Fi networks. If these phones are on and are in the same room as your router, you will experience performance issues.
- metal racks and walls in line of sight between your router and printer
- Check that the wireless signal strength bars show a good signal level and are not changing erratically. (Press Cancel to view the menu if necessary.)
- Check that the Wi-Fi Status light on your printer control panel illuminates blue continuously. If the Wi-Fi Status light occasionally blinks rather than continuously illuminates, or the AiO Status Monitor on your computer changes erratically from Ready to Printer not responding, you might have a signal drop.
