1. Check whether your printer is turned on or not. If not, turn it on.
2. Press and hold the Wi-Fi button on the printer panel until the power flashes twice, and leave the button after the second flash.
3. Ensure that the Wi-Fi button has a blue flash and press the WPS button on the access point for 2 minutes.

When the printer starts looking for an access point or is connecting to a router, the blue Wi-Fi lamp will be on.
