The 8-digit PIN you need for connecting your HP printer wirelessly, often for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), is not typically printed directly on the printer itself. Instead, you can find this PIN displayed on your printer's control panel screen by navigating through the printer's menu options.
Finding the 8-Digit PIN
According to HP printer information, you can locate the WPS PIN through the printer's built-in menu system. Here are the general steps:
- Locate the Wireless Button: Find the dedicated wireless button on your printer. This button might look like a wireless signal icon (similar to a Wi-Fi symbol).
- Access the Wireless Menu: Press the wireless button to access the wireless settings or menu on your printer's display.
- Select WPS: Within the wireless menu, look for an option related to "WPS" (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) or a similar connection method. Select this option.
- Display the PIN: Choosing the WPS option should prompt your printer to display the 8-digit PIN directly on its screen.
- Tip: The exact menu path might vary slightly depending on your specific HP printer model. Consult your printer's manual if you cannot find the wireless button or the WPS option immediately.
This 8-digit PIN is generated by the printer for a limited time, allowing you to enter it into your router's configuration or connection wizard to establish a secure wireless connection without needing to enter the network password directly on the printer.
