The best way to do this is to download the manual and read in.  On page 103 is your answer.

 

Turn on or off the wireless capability of the printer
The blue Wireless light on the printer control panel is lit when the wireless capability of the printer is on.
NOTE: Connecting an Ethernet cable to the printer automatically turns off the wireless capability and the
Wireless light.
1. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the
Dashboard, touch (the Wireless button), and then touch ( Settings ).
2. Touch Wireless Settings.
3. Touch Wireless to switch it on or off.
