Basic AirPrint Usage
This document explains how to use Apple AirPrint to print documents from a Canon printer.
AirPrint can use a local wireless LAN to print email, photos, web pages, and other documents from iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch directly to your printer.
Network Environment The Apple device (iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch) and your printer must be connected to the same 802.11 wireless LAN. AirPrint uses Bonjour to detect your printer via the local wireless LAN.
Printing with AirPrint 1. Check that your printer is turned on and is connected to the local wireless LAN.
2. From the application of your Apple device, tap 
to display the menu options.
3. From the dropdown menu, tap Print.
4. From Printer Options, select a printer.
important:
Because some applications do not support AirPrint, Printer Options may not be displayed. If an application does not let you use printer options, you cannot print from that application.
5. For 1 Copy, click + or - to set the number of required copies.
6. For Duplex Printing, click On to enable duplex printing or click Off to disable the function.
7. When printing a file type that has multiple pages, such as a PDF file, click Range and then click All Pages or select the range of pages to be printed.
reference:
The printer options differ depending on the application and printer you are using. Normally, when you tap Print and select a printer, the displayed printer options will include up to the following four options:
- Printer: Select a printer that can be used in your wireless LAN.
- Copies: Select the number of print copies.
- Duplex Printing: If the printer supports duplex printing, you can select On or Off.
- Range: The page range can be used only with specific applications and file types (such as PDF files).
8. Tap the Print.
When you execute printing, the printer prints according to the specified settings.
Paper Size With AirPrint, the paper size is selected automatically according to the application being used on the Apple device and the region in which AirPrint is used.
When Apple's photo application is used, the default paper size is letter size in Japan, and KG (4"x6") in other countries and regions.
When documents are printed from Apple's Safari application, the default paper size is letter size in the U.S. region, and A4 in Japan and Europe.
important:
Your application may support different paper sizes.
During printing, a Print icon is displayed in the list of recently used applications, and you can use it to check the print progress.
To display the list of latest used applications, press the Home button on the Apple device twice. The Print icon is displayed at the bottom of the Home window.
Deleting a Print Job To delete a print job with AirPrint, use one of the following two methods:
- From the printer operation panel: Press the Stop button to cancel the print job.
- From an Apple device: Press the Home button on the Apple device twice. Tap the Print icon and open Print Jobs to display the print job list. Tap the print job to be canceled, and then tap Cancel Print.
AirPrint Troubleshooting If the document does not print, check the following:
1. Check that the printer power is on. If the printer power is on, turn it off and then back on again, and check whether the issue is resolved.
2. Check that the printer is connected by wireless LAN connection to the same network subnet as the device on which iOS is installed.
3. Check that the printer software has been updated to the version that supports AirPrint.
4. Check that the printer has enough paper and ink.
5. Check that no error message is displayed on the printer operation panel.
If the problem persists, use the printer driver on your computer to execute printing and check whether the document can be printed normally on the printer.
reference:
- After you turn on the printer, it may take few minutes before the printer can communicate through a wireless LAN connection. Confirm that your printer is connected to the wireless LAN, and then try printing.
- If Bonjour is disabled, AirPrint cannot be used. Be sure to enable Bonjour.
