Ensure that your printer is connected to a power source and is turned on. If the printer has been previously configured, consider restoring it to factory settings for a clean start.
Step 2 : Access the Wireless Setup Settings
Identify the wireless or Wi-Fi button on the printer's control panel. Press and hold this button for 3-5 seconds until the wireless indicator begins to blink, signifying that the printer has entered setup mode.
Step 3 : Using the Touchscreen Display
Select the Wireless icon or navigate to the Setup menu on the printer's touchscreen.
Proceed to the Restore Network Settings or Wireless Setup Wizard option and follow the on-screen instructions to activate setup mode.
Step 4 : Utilize the HP Smart App
