Manually Setting the Wireless Access Point - Mac OS X

To manually set the wireless access point, you will need the access point name / network name (or SSID), the network key (also referred to as encryption key, WEP key or WPA / WPA2 passphrase, pre-shared key) and the encryption method.

Note:
If you are unable to retrieve the network key or other settings, refer to the manual of your access point or router, or contact its manufacturer.

Notes on Wireless Connection

• The configuration, router functions, setup procedures and security settings of the network device vary depending on your system environment. For details, refer to your device's instruction manual or contact its manufacturer.

   

• Check if your device supports IEEE802.11n / g / b.
• In an office setup, consult your network administrator.
• If you connect to a network that is not protected with security measures, there is a risk of disclosing data such as your personal information to a third party.

   

• If an error message appears or if you have trouble with the network connection, refer to the printed manual: Network Setup Troubleshooting.
• When using a router, connect the machine and computer to the LAN side (same network segment).

Note: An "Ad-hoc connection," which establishes a direct connection to the computer over a wireless connection without using an access point, is not supported. Be sure to prepare an access point.

 

Install the Drivers

• To use the machine by connecting it to a computer, software including the drivers needs to be copied (installed) to the computer's hard disk. The installation process takes about 20 minutes. (The installation time varies depending on the computer environment or the number of application software to be installed.)
   

IMPORTANT:

• Quit all running applications before installation.

   

• Log on as the administrator (or a member of the Administrators group).

   

• Do not switch users during the installation process.

   

• Internet connection may be required during the installation. Connection fees may apply. Consult the internet service provider.

   

• It may be necessary to restart your computer during the installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions and do not remove the Setup CD-ROM during restarting. The installation resumes once your computer has restarted.
   
• If the firewall function of your security software is turned on, a warning message may appear that Canon software is attempting to access the network. If such a warning message appears, set the security software to always allow access.
• Mac OS 9, Mac OS X Classic environments, or Mac OS X v.10.4.10 or earlier are not supported.

1. Turn on the computer, then insert the Setup CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

   Important:
   There shouldn't be any resistance when connecting the USB cable to the printer. If the cable does not easily slide into the printer's port, look at the end of the connector. The shape of the connector should match the port on the printer.
   All USB cables will have a USB icon on one side. The side of the cable where the icon is situated is different than the other three sides.
