2 Networking Your Printer
To connect your printer to an 802.11 wireless (Wi-Fi) network, refer to the following information.
Before you connect
You need:
A computer equipped with a network interface card or wireless networking support.
A working 802.11 wireless network. Kodak recommends that you use a wireless access point/router that uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
To determine whether your wireless router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Your network name (SSID - Service Set Identifier). You can obtain your SSID from the wireless access point, most commonly a router, using the router's embedded Web server. See the manufacturer's documentation provided with your wireless system for more information.
IMPORTANT: The SSID is case sensitive. Your Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) passphrase.
To temporarily disable your firewall until the printer is successfully installed and communicating. For information, go to www.kodak.com/go/inkjetnetworking.
Using the LCD keyboard
When you need to enter letters or numbers, a keyboard appears on the LCD.
On the printer, press , , or to select the letters and numbers, using the correct uppercase and lowercase letters. Press OK after each character. When you are done, select DONE, then press OK.

Connecting to a non-WPS wireless router
To connect to your wireless network, you need to know the network name, which is also called the Service Set Identifier (SSID). You can obtain your network name from the wireless router. See the manufacturer's documentation for more information.
If you have enabled security on your network, you also need to know the security string, which may be a Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or a Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) passphrase.
Record your network information, using the correct uppercase and lowercase letters for your WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase.
Press Home.
Press to select Network Settings, then press OK.
With WiFi Setup Wizard selected, press OK.
NOTE: The Wi-Fi radio turns on automatically when you select WiFi Setup Wizard. The printer searches for available wireless networks within range, then displays the list in order of signal strength. For example:
NOTE: If there are more networks than can be shown on the LCD, a (page down) symbol appears in the bottom right of the display. If you don't see your network in the list or want to change your network, select Rescan for Wireless Networks, then press OK. If the name of your network is:
Listed Not listed Press to select your network, then press OK.
Make sure your wireless router is turned on and within range. If your wireless router does not broadcast its SSID (network name):
Press to select Unlisted Network, then press OK.
Use the LCD keyboard to enter your network name. (Using the LCD keyboard)
Select WEP or WPA/WPA2 as required for your network's security setup, then press OK.
If your network requires a password, 'Enter Security String' and a keyboard appear on the LCD. Use the LCD keyboard to enter the security string. (Using the LCD keyboard)
When the confirmation message appears, press OK.

Complete Steps 1 and 2 of Configuring basic wireless (Wi-Fi) settings.
Wi-Fi Setup Wizard is the first option; press OK to select it.
NOTE: The Wi-Fi radio is turned on automatically when Wi-Fi Setup Wizard is selected. The printer searches for available Wi-Fi networks detected, then displays the list in alphabetical order on the LCD screen. The illustration below shows an example list. The row containing each <Network name> listed also shows the strength of the signal (shown below as xx%) as a percentage between 0 and 100, where 100 is the highest possible strength.
For best performance the signal strength should be at least 50%.
If more Wi-Fi networks are within range than can be shown on the LCD screen, the display includes the (page down) symbol and/or the (page up) symbol on the LCD screen. As appropriate, press or on the control panel until you locate the network you want to use.
As appropriate, press or on the control panel until you locate the network you want to use.
The last two options displayed are Unlisted network and Rescan for wireless networks.

With the desired network selected, press OK. You may need network identification information, such as a security string, in order to authenticate your connection.
NOTE: You will need to know the network name (SSID) of the Wi-Fi network and its security string to connect your printer to the network successfully. Contact your Internet provider or the person who helped you configure your network to assist you. If you are looking for a Wi-Fi network that does not broadcast its SSID, see Connecting to an unlisted network.
NOTE: If your printer was last connected to an available network on the list, the network settings are saved and the printer will automatically attempt to reconnect you to that network. If the network requires the entry of a security string, the keyboard will be shown on the LCD. Press , , or to select a key. Press OK.
