This guide describes how to connect your printer to a wireless network.
The Wireless Networking Guide provides step‑by‑step instructions for installing a Lexmark printer on a Wi‑Fi network, including required information such as SSID, security key and IP configuration. It covers both Windows and Macintosh installation procedures and includes special instructions for French broadband boxes.
Additional sections describe how to interpret the printer’s Wi‑Fi indicator light, manually assign an IP address, create ad‑hoc networks, and perform comprehensive wireless troubleshooting using a checklist of common issues.
| Wireless compatibility | IEEE 802.11b/g/n |
|---|---|
| Wi‑Fi indicator light colors | Off, Orange, Blinking orange, Green, Blinking green |
The light shows the printer’s wireless status: Off means the printer is off or not connected; Orange indicates configuration mode; Blinking orange means the printer cannot reach the access point; Green means it is connected; Blinking green means the internal print server is being updated.
During wireless setup you will be asked to manually assign an IP address if you need a specific address, have assigned static addresses to other devices, or have moved the printer to a different subnet.
If you do not have a wireless access point, you can set up an ad‑hoc network by creating a network name (SSID) and security key on the computer, then using the Lexmark Wireless Setup Utility to configure the printer.
