hey guys welcome back to part two of how
to connect your printer to your computer
in the last video we talked about how to
connect it with the USB and we'll post
that up a link that video up in this
video we're gonna go over how to set up
your wireless feature on the printer
let's take a look there's two different
Music Plays
There is 2 differant ways to connect your computer to the
printer with a wireless feature first
off when you're installing the drivers
for it with the disk that came with its
going to ask if you want to use the USB
cable to bring over that wireless
information is a one-time use and store
that information on the printer the
second one is going in and manually
configuring the wireless information and
we're going to go on over to the screen
here and i'll show you how to do that
through the setup wizard
this is what the general screen will
look like of course with every make and
model the screen will differ a little
bit but you'll have a general
information usually will have a light
right here in this HP this blue light
right here if it's blinking that
indicates that is not connected to any
network if it is solid that will
indicate that it is connected with one
chances are if this is a new printers
it's either going to be blinking or it's
going to be turned off and i'll show you
how to turn that on
if it is off here in just a moment but
of course every make and model be
slightly different but we're going to
want to do is find a little icon that
has the radio waves coming out of the
antenna in this case it's right here we
will click on that we want to go down to
wireless menu from here you're gonna
have a few different options options
again if this is not lit up you want to
come down to turn wireless honor off and
click that once and that will turn the
blue light on and then it will begin to
start blinking saying that it is not
connected to a network from here we're
going to want to go to wireless setup
wizard to retrieve the wireless network
information what that means is it's
going to find every wireless network
around you that it can find what you
going to what you're going to want to do
is find out what your wireless network
name is are also known as the SSID and
the passphrase are key phrase both of
that information can usually be found on
the bottom of your modem that you get
from your internet service provider isp
such as Comcast Verizon some of those
guys if it has been custom configured
you're going to want to find out who
custom configured it and get the correct
information before proceeding
once you've got that information you're
going to want to scroll down through the
list to find your network name
click on it and from here you're going
to type in the passphrase and what that
is that's base this is basically the
password for the wireless network once
you've got that all in there go ahead
and click ok just make sure that you
have the upper case is correct the lower
case is correct and make sure you're not
confusing any numbers such as 0 for a O
so make sure everything checks out
really well
it ok once you've gone through that and
hits and it says okay
the solid the blue light or sorry the
blinking blue light will actually turn
solid saying that you are connected to
the network
the final step of getting your printer
connected to your computer's of course
going onto your computer and searching
for the printer to make sure it's
showing up on the wireless network so
whether you're on Windows Vista all the
way up through windows 10 at all
basically functions the same way what
we're going to want to do
come on down to the start menu just
begin to type the word printer
and this little pop-up should come up
says devices and printers go ahead and
left click on that
and at the very top we're going to want
to click add a printer so we'll click
add a printer what the computer will do
was will it'll go through and it will
scan the network for any printer that it
finds on there as you can see the one
that we've just added via the wireless
connection is showing up here we're
going to click on that click Next
going to go through finish installing
whatever drivers that it needs to any
type of wireless drivers things like
that it will go through and finish that
up it said that please wait while setup
installs necessary files on your system
this may take several minutes
let that go ahead and finish up and then
when that finishes up usually the page
will disappear and this little box will
come up saying you've successfully added
the printer it will give you the printer
model number and then go ahead and print
a test page to make sure that everythingis printing correctly
