Get it ready
Six steps from box to power on. Keep the box and packing in case you ever move or ship the printer.
- 1Unpack the printerInside the box: the printer, power cord, USB cable, and software CD. Keep the box and packing for future moves.
- 2Remove the tapePeel off all of the orange tape and packing, including the pieces inside the paper tray.
- 3Remove the shipping spacersOpen the rear cover and pull out the orange spacer on each side of the paper path. They protect the printer during shipping.
- 4Get the toner readyOpen the front cover and lift the drum and toner out by its handle. Remove all tape and protective sheets. Push the latch to separate the toner from the drum, then pull the toner’s seal all the way out. Click the toner back into the drum, slide the assembly in, press the handle down, and close the cover. Don’t touch the drum’s surface, and don’t leave the drum out in the light for more than a few minutes.
- 5Load paperPull out the tray, set the guides to your paper size, and load paper print side down. Slide the tray back in and lift the paper stopper on top.
- 6Turn it onPlug in the power cord and press the power button. The Ready light stays on while the printer is on. To turn it off, hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Connect to Wi-Fi
The printer sends out its own Wi-Fi network. You join it from your phone and tell the printer which network to use.
Wi-Fi setup, step by step →- On your phone, open Settings › Wi-Fi and join the printer’s network. Its name starts with “PRT-”. A “no internet” warning is normal.
- Open your phone’s web browser and go to 192.168.200.1.
- Tap Network › Wi-Fi Settings › Search AP. Choose your network, enter its password, and tap Connect. A notice that the wired network will turn off is normal.
- Switch your phone back to your usual Wi-Fi.
Can’t find a PRT- network? Make sure the printer is on. Its Wi-Fi turns on by itself, and you don’t need its IP address to print.
