If you encounter issues during setup, try these quick fixes:
Printer Not Found: Verify that both your computer and printer are connected to the exact same 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi band.
Registration Fails: Restart your wireless router and printer to refresh the network configuration, then attempt the utility setup again.
