To connect your HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 to Wi-Fi, follow these steps:
Note: Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
- Your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password.
- A computer or mobile device that is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want to connect the printer to.
Procedure:
- Power on the Printer:
- Make sure your HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 is powered on.
- Access the Control Panel:
- On the printer’s control panel, tap the “Wireless” or “Setup” button. This will vary depending on your printer’s display.
- Open the Wireless Setup Wizard:
- From the Wireless or Setup menu, locate and select the “Wireless Setup Wizard” option. This will initiate the printer’s search for available Wi-Fi networks.
- Select Your Wi-Fi Network:
- The printer will display a list of available Wi-Fi networks in your area. Scroll through the list and select your Wi-Fi network from the list.
- Enter the Wi-Fi Password:
- If your Wi-Fi network is password-protected (which is common), you will be prompted to enter the Wi-Fi password (also known as the WPA or WEP key). Use the printer’s touchscreen keyboard to input the password.
- Confirm Settings:
- After entering the password, double-check to ensure it is correct.
- Connect to Wi-Fi:
- Once you’ve entered the correct password, the printer will attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi network.
- Complete the Setup:
- If the connection is successful, the printer will display a confirmation message. You may also receive a notification on your computer or mobile device confirming the connection.
- Install Printer Software (If Needed):
- If you haven’t already installed the HP printer software on your computer or mobile device, you can do so now. The software is available for download from the HP website.
- Test the Connection:
- To ensure that the printer is correctly connected to Wi-Fi, you can print a network configuration or status report from the printer’s control panel.
- Print from Your Devices:
- With the HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 connected to Wi-Fi, you can now print documents and photos from your computer, smartphone, or tablet wirelessly. Make sure that your devices are on the same Wi-Fi network as the printer.
If you encounter any issues during the setup process, consult the printer’s user manual or the HP website for troubleshooting guidance. Additionally, ensure that your Wi-Fi network is operational and that the printer is within the Wi-Fi signal range.
