Network the J7300

You are able to connect the printer over Wi-Fi or via an Ethernet connection.


Wi-Fi

1. Tap Settings.

2. Tap Connection.

3. Tap Wi-Fi Network to turn on Wi-Fi.

4. Touch and drag to scroll through the list.

5. Tap the network that you want to use.

• If the network is not locked, simply tap it and the printer connects to it.
• If the network is locked, as indicated by a lock symbol, tap the network and a key pad opens. Enter the password and tap .

• If the network you need is not in the list, it may not be discoverable. Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap Other. Choose either Personal Network or Enterprise Network. The system displays settings appropriate to your selection. You may need information from your IT department to complete the settings.

Ethernet

If using a Windows driver, it is best to configure the Ethernet (TCP/IP) connection before you install the driver. If the driver is already installed before you network the printer, you may need to edit the port settings for the printer in Windows to update the IP address. 
 

1. Turn the printer on.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the back of the printer and the other end to the Ethernet port on the computer or Local Area Network (LAN).
3. If you want to add a name for the printer, navigate to Settings > Connection > Printer Name. The default name is J7300.

4. For IP Settings, select either DHCP or Static checkbox. 

5. If you are selecting static, connect the printer using the USB cable and fill in the following fields:

• IP Address: Enter the printer's IP address.
• Subnet Mask: Enter a subnet mask if you are using one.
• Default Gateway: Enter the IP address of the default gateway. 
• DNS Server (Primary): Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server. 
• DNS Server (Secondary): Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server. 

Your changes automatically save after the values are set. Click the Home icon or navigate to another page when finished. 

Manually Enter Settings

Follow steps to manually enter settings if the network is hidden.
