Find out how to use the cableless setup method to connect the PIXMA MG7120 to a wireless network (LAN).

Solution

These instructions walk you through the "Cableless setup" process to connect the MG7120 to your wireless router.

There are two parts to the setup:

Download and run the setup file on your computer.
Connect your printer to the network.

1. Download and run the Setup file

Download the software file. (If your computer has a CD drive, you can use the Setup CD-ROM.)
From your computer's downloads folder, double-click on the .exe file (for example: Win-MG7100-1_0-ucd.exe).
If the User Account Control dialog box appears during the setup, select Yes or Continue.
Select Next on the initial screen.

2. Connect your printer to the network

On the Connection Method Selection screen (1-1) select Network Connection, then select Wireless Connection on screen (1-2).
Select Connect to the network on the Printer Setup (2-1) screen.
If the HOME button on your printer is lit, touch the HOME button and select Next on the Printer Setup (2-2) screen.
On the printer, swipe the screen left or right, and tap the WLAN icon. Then tap Wireless LAN setup and select Next on the Printer Setup (2-3) screen.
If your printer display is the same as example A, tap To other connection methods. The display will then change to display example B. When the display changes to B (or if it was B to begin with), tap Other setup.
Select Other Methods on the Setup Procedure Selection screen (3-1).
On the Setup Procedure Selection screen (3-2), select Other setup. On screen (3-3) select Cableless setup.
