You can use the WPS
® button on your router to connect your printer wirelessly. Your wireless router must support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to use this setup method.
Before you begin
To use the printer with a computer, drivers will need to be installed. Installation time will vary depending on the speed of your computer.
Quit all running applications before installation.

Log on as an administrator.

Internet connection may be required during the installation.

If the firewall 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.
