Before Starting

These instructions refer to performing an initial wireless setup of your printer to a wireless network using Canon PRINT.
 

Instructions

You can use the Canon PRINT app to easily set up a wireless connection so you can print from an Android™ device.
 

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.
 

1. If you have not already done so, start Easy Wireless Connect on your printer. For instructions, select your printer model from one of the drop-down lists above.
   
    Note Be sure to start Easy Wireless Connect before starting the app. For some models, this is called Cableless Setup. If you have already initiated Easy Wireless Connect on your printer, please proceed to step 2.
    
2. Start the Canon PRINT app. If you don't have the app, download it from Google Play.
    
3. Upon opening the app for the first time, you'll see a License Agreement. Read the terms and tap Agree to continue. If you tap Do not agree, you won't be able to use this app.
   
   
    
4. The For using services related to Canon product screen will appear. Read this information, then tap Agree or Do not agree.
   
   
    
5. The following screen will appear. Tap OK to proceed.
   
   
    
6. When asked to allow the app to access your device's location, tap While using the app or the appropriate affirmative option.
   
   
   
   When asked to allow the app to access your device's photos and media, tap Allow or the appropriate affirmative option.
   
   
    
7. When the screen below appears, tap Search.
   
   
   
    If you see this message, do not tap Yes or No. Tapping Yes will start the process over. Tapping No will cause the app to indicate that it is still searching for a printer.
   
   
    
8. Tap Next when this message appears.
   
   
    
9. You'll be prompted to connect directly to the printer. Tap Connect or the appropriate affirmative option.
   
   
   
    Depending on the model, it may be named Canon_ij_setup or it may have the name of the printer, such as Canon_ij_xxxxx_GX7000series.
   
    If you tap Cancel, you'll be prompted to manually connect to the printer. If you see this screen, tap Open Wi-Fi Settings, then select the printer's network name and return to the app.
    
10. A message appears saying the printer will connect to your wireless network.  Make sure your network name appears in this message, then tap Yes.
    
     If your printer is too far away from your router, your Android device may try and fail to connect and you won't see the screen shown below. In this case, turn off the printer, move it closer to your router, and restart the process.
    
    
     
11. Enter the password for your wireless router. Tap the eye symbol to check the password entry to be sure it's correct, then tap OK.
    
     If the cableless setup process fails at this stage, you may need to restart the process and connect your Android device to the Canon_ij_XXXX SSID. Set your printer to cableless setup mode, connect to the Canon_ij_XXXX SSID, and start again from step 1. Click here if you need help with this.
    
    
    
    The app will send your network information to the printer. Please wait.
    
    
    
     At this point, your device will communicate with the printer, which will be automatically added. However, in some instances, you may need to manually add the printer. Proceed to the next step if the Register Printer screen appears.
     
12. If the Register Printer screen appears, wait for your printer to appear on the screen, then tap it.
    
    
    
    The app will acquire information on your printer.
    
    
     
13. Tap Close.
    
    
     
14. Wireless connection is complete. Tap Select images to start using the application or tap the X to exit.
    Print a photo / Print a document
    
    
    
    
    
     You may see a prompt similar to the following.
    
    
    
    If you want this app to save your network name and password to make it easier to reconnect this printer, or to add a new one, make sure the Save box is checked, then tap OK.
