This app allows you to set up a wireless capable printer on the network through a cableless setup. To use this setup, follow the steps below.

Cableless setup

• Not all models that are compatible with Canon PRINT will support this feature.
   
• Change the name of a listed printer in Canon PRINT.
   

1. Go to the Apple Store® to download Canon PRINT. 
    
2. If you have not already done so, set your printer into cableless setup mode, also referred to as Easy Wireless Connect. For help or instructions, select your printer model from the drop-down list above.
   
    Be sure to start Easy Wireless Connect before you start the app. If you have already initiated Easy Wireless Connect on your printer, please proceed to step 3.
    
3. Open the Canon PRINT app.
    
4. When you first open the app, a message titled For using services related to Canon product appears. Read the information and tap Agree or Do not agree. You will be able to use the app regardless of which option you select.
    
5. If asked whether you want to allow this app to access your location, tap Allow While Using App.
    
6. When this message appears, tap Allow.

     If your printer is too far away from your router, your device may attempt to establish a direct connection with the printer. If this happens, turn off the printer and move it closer to your router. Then, restart this process from step 3.
     
12. If your network has a password on it, enter that password then tap OK. You can tap the Show password box to display the password as or after you type it in.
