How to Setup Canon Pixma pro-100

If you have just landed on using the canon Pixma Pro- 100 and wondering which setup procedure to follow, then you’re on the right place.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is by far one of the easiest methods for the setup but as we said, we will look on other ways also to achieve it.

So, what are we waiting for? Let’s get started:

· WPS Connection Method

· Network settings confirmation

· Standard USB Connection Method

Let us discuss the points in detail:

WPS Connection Method:

Before we begin the method to Setup Canon Pixma pro-100, below are some of the conditions that one must need to meet in order to implement the WPS connection push button method without any hassle:

· Make sure that the access point must contain a physical WPS push button there. If you are in confusion that what I am talking about, you can look over the user manual guide of the device for more details.

· In case the WPS button is not available, then redirect to the standard connection method (described on the next section of the article)

· WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 security protocol must be taken into use by your network. Why so? It’s because a number of WPS enabled access points uses this WPA2 protocol.

Step by step process to Setup Canon Pixma Pro-100 using WPS connection method is as follow:

Step 1 involves:

· Ensure that the printer is ON

• Ensure that the button flashes blue and thus reach up your access point. Next, as soon as it does, within 2 minutes, press the [WPS] button.

• You can also refer to the access point manual for them, to the point details about pressing the WPS button

• While searching or connecting to the access point, the WIFI lamp (blue in color) will continue flashing. As soon as your printer will made a connection to your wireless network successfully, the blue lamp that was flashing before will no longer flashes and thus will remain lit afterwards.

Network settings confirmation:

You can print out the network settings of your printer if you want. It confirms that the printer is successfully connected to your wireless network

· ON your printer

· Take a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper and load it

· You will get to see a [Resume/Cancel ] button. Press and keep holding it until the power lamp flashes 6 times. After that, release it. You will get your network page printed.

· Check the connection indicating active while referring to the printout. Also, check twice that the Service Set Identifier is showing the actual name of your wireless network.
