Installing the Wireless Connectivity Module

The wireless connectivity module provides Wi-Fi connectivity for the printer. Install it to allow your printer to connect to Wi-Fi networks.
The discharge of electrostatic energy that accumulates on the surface of the human body or other surfaces can damage or destroy the printhead and other electronic components used in this device. You must observe static-safe procedures when working with the printhead or the electronic components under the top cover.
  1. Remove the media roll from the Media Roll Holder.
  2. Disconnect the DC power plug from the rear of the printer.
  3. Remove any interface cables and USB devices.
  4. Turn the printer over to access the wireless connectivity door located at the bottom of the printer.
  5. Open the module access door by pushing the latch at the top of the door. The printer base has a recessed area for your fingertip.
    The latch releases.
  6. Lift and swing the door up to remove it.
    The connectivity door is shown swinging open with an arrow to indicate the upward rotation.
  7. Align the antenna arm and lower the module into the printer body.
    Ensure the printer's Wi-Fi connector aligns with the module's connectors.

  10. Place the three labels included on the bottom of the printer (1). These labels (2 and 3) assist with the printer configuration (and later reconfiguration) of the printer. Mobile apps, use of scanners, and printer support are aided by these printer configuration labels.

Re-connect the printer's power and interface cables after all hardware upgrade kits have been added to the printer.
It is recommended that you update the printer firmware to verify that the printer and wireless module are at the same and latest version. See Updating Printer Firmware.
The Wireless Connectivity Module needs to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth configured to communicate with the printer.
The network automatically provides a new IP address when the printer is turned on. The Windows printer driver uses a static IP address to connect to the printer, usually used in controlled networking environments. See Setting Up the Wi-Fi Print Server Option.
