Your Tally printer is not connecting to WiFi if every job fails to print, the WiFi button on the printer blinks, flashing light other than blue and green, or gets completely off. On every print attempt, you see “not found” on your printer’s screen. All these signs mean the printer is unable to connect to WiFi. 

Here are the common and most probable mistakes that you need to correct to resolve this issue. 

Mistake #1: Incorrect Network Password

Every WiFi connection has a password to keep its access limited. You have also used a network password while connecting your printer. But you might have used an incorrect password. There are chances you made some typos in the password, for instance, capitalization mistakes, missing characters, and extra spaces. 
 

Check the following steps to rectify this issue. 

Solution: Re-enter the Network Password

If the password is wrong, you can simply enter it again. Use the steps below to re-enter your network’s password: 

1. Go to the touchscreen of your Tally printer and open the Network Settings under the Settings option. 
2. Then, select the Wireless Settings option. 
3. Now, select the Restore Network Settings or Factory Reset Settings. 
4. Once the printer is set to its default settings, go to the Wireless Settings again and select your network. 
5. Then, put the right password for your network. 

Mistake #2: Printer Drivers and Firmware Are Outdated

When you don’t have updated drivers and firmware on your PC, you face problems connecting the printer to WiFi. Follow the steps below to update them. 

Solution: Update the Printer Drivers and Firmware

1. First of all, click the Windows Start button at the bottom of your computer screen. 
2. Then, search for the Device Manager option, select it, and open it. 
3. Now, open the category under the Device Manager. 
4. Once you see your printer in the list, right-click on it and click the Update Driver option. 
5. Next, choose the “Search automatically for updated driver software” option. 

What to Do if This Issue Persists?

Mostly, re-entering the network password and updating printer drivers and firmware will fix the printer not connecting to the WiFi issue. But if it persists, you can try restarting your printer. In most cases, it fixes the issue. 

To restart your Tally printer, follow these steps: 

• First, turn off the printer by pressing the Power button on the front of the printer. 
• Then, disconnect the printer from the power cable and remove the power cable from the switchboard. 
• Now, wait for a minute, plug the printer back into the power cable, and connect the cable to the switchboard. 
• Turn on the printer again by pressing the Power button.

A Tally printer not connecting to WiFi is common and may happen when the network details are incorrect, the printer drivers and firmware are not up to date, or any conflicting software is interfering with the connections. But, with some right methods, you can fix it, such as re-entering the password and updating the printer drivers and firmware.
