Start at the Verified Setup Page
Always type ij.start.canon directly into your browser’s address bar.
Select your exact printer model and follow Canon’s guided instructions.
Download the recommended drivers and utilities for your operating system.
Avoid third-party sites to prevent outdated or unsafe software.
Use Easy Wireless Connect Mode
Press the printer’s Power button and keep it near your Wi-Fi router.
On supported models, select Easy Wireless Connect from the printer’s menu.
Follow on-screen prompts until the printer joins your wireless network.
Remember: passwords are case-sensitive — double-check uppercase/lowercase letters.
Register with Canon PRINT App
Install Canon PRINT from the App Store or Google Play.
Tap Register Printer and let the app auto-detect your device.
If not found, use Auto Connection mode for a seamless setup.
This ensures smooth printing from smartphones and tablets.
Use Wi-Fi Connection Assistant (Windows/Mac)
On Windows, launch Wi-Fi Connection Assistant and select Printer Network Setup.
Choose your printer, click Network Settings, and connect to your Wi-Fi.
On Mac, follow Canon’s guided instructions for Easy Wireless Connect.
Refresh the printer list to confirm successful connection.
Reset if Setup Fails
If the printer doesn’t connect, perform a clean reset.
Re-run Easy Wireless Connect or use Manual Connect from the printer panel.
Ensure your router is stable and not blocking new devices.
Using search engines instead of typing ij.start.canon directly — may lead to fake sites.
Placing the printer far from the router — weak signals cause setup failures.
Skipping driver installation — without drivers, your computer won’t recognize the printer.
Ignoring case-sensitive Wi-Fi passwords — one wrong letter can block connection.
