Easy Steps to Setup Canon Printer WiFi
Connecting your Canon printer to WiFi is one of the easiest ways to print wirelessly from your computer, laptop, or smartphone. You no longer need messy cables or complicated setup processes. This simple step-by-step guide will show you exactly how to set up your Canon printer to WiFi in just a few minutes.
Step 1: Turn On Your Canon Printer
Before you begin, make sure your Canon printer is plugged in and turned on. Wait until the printer is ready and the power light is steady. This ensures your printer is in the right mode for wireless setup.
Step 2: Access the WiFi Setup Menu
On your printer’s control panel, press the Menu or Settings button. Look for Network Settings or WiFi Setup. The exact wording can vary depending on your Canon model, but they all lead you to the wireless connection menu.
Step 3: Choose Wireless LAN Setup
Select Wireless LAN Setup to allow your printer to search for available WiFi networks nearby. Wait a few seconds until the list of network names (SSIDs) appears on your screen.
Step 4: Select Your WiFi Network
From the list, choose your WiFi network. If your network is hidden, you can type in the name manually. Make sure you select the correct network to avoid connection errors.
Step 5: Enter Your WiFi Password
Next, the printer will ask for your WiFi password. Carefully enter the password using the on-screen keyboard or buttons. Double-check every letter and number before confirming. Press OK or Connect once you’re done.
Step 6: Wait for the Connection
After entering your password, the printer will connect to your WiFi network. This may take a few seconds. When the connection is complete, you’ll see a message that says Connected or a WiFi icon on the display screen.
Step 7: Add the Printer to Your Device
Now it’s time to connect your Canon printer to your computer or mobile device.
- On Windows, open Settings → Devices → Printers & Scanners → Add a Printer.
- On Mac, go to System Preferences → Printers & Scanners → Add Printer.
- On your phone or tablet, download the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app from the App Store or Google Play and follow the steps to link your printer.
Step 8: Print a Test Page
Once connected, try printing a test page to confirm the setup. If the page prints correctly, your Canon printer is now successfully connected to WiFi.
