Installing the Wireless Connectivity Module

Use this procedure to install the Wireless Connectivity Module in the printer.
The discharge of electrostatic energy that accumulates on the surface of the human body or other surfaces can damage or destroy the printhead or electronic components used in this device. You must observe static-safe procedures when working with the printhead or the electronic components.
No tools are needed to perform this procedure.
To prepare for the installation, remove any loaded media, turn printer power OFF, and disconnect any power or interface cables from the printer.
  1. Access the wireless connectivity area by turning the printer over to access the wireless connectivity door.
  2. Push the latch at the top with your fingertip to open the module access door. The printer base has a recessed area for your fingertip.
    The latch releases.
  3. Lift and swing the door up to remove it.
  4. Align the antenna arm (marked 1 in the next figure) into the well.
  5. Lower and align the module (2) to the printer's Wi-Fi connector (3).
  6. Push the module (2) in gently but firmly until fully seated.

  9. Push the door (1) to lock the latch.
    Closing the Wireless Connectivity Door (steps 7–9)
    The wireless connectivity door (1) will not close correctly if the module has not been fully seated. Being able to close this door properly is a good indication that the module is correctly seated.
  10. Place the compliance label that shipped with the module on the bottom of the printer.
    The compliance label has the appropriate regulatory marks needed to use the printer in your country.
