1. Grab the USB cable that came with your printer. Connect one end to the back of the printer and plug the other into any rectangular slot on your computer.

2. Once the progress bar finishes on your PC screen, select your WiFi network from the screen and hit the Next button.

3. Enter your password for your WiFi network and wait for a while.
