In this video we'll cover how to set up your Canon imageCLASS printer on a
wireless network with a Mac. Let's get started. Before connecting your printer
to the network, confirm that your wireless router is available and
properly setup. Also, confirm that your computer is connected to the network.
Next, make sure your printer is plugged in and turned on. The main screen will be
lit when the printer is on. If the sleep icon is lit, press the home button to
wake the printer. On the home screen, tap menu. If menu doesn't appear on your
screen, scroll to the left or right.
Tap preferences, then tap network. If prompted, enter your ID and password. If
you haven't created one the default is 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.
Tap wireless lan settings. Tap yes to enable the Wireless LAN. Review the
displayed message and tap OK. Tap SSID settings. An SSID is your wireless
network name, also known as a Wi-Fi® network. Tap select access point. The
printer will begin to search for available wireless routers. Select the
Wi-Fi® network that you would like to use and tap next. Be sure to select the Wi-Fi®
network that your PC is connected to. Tap OK. Enter your network password. Your
password is case-sensitive. Tap the up arrow key to switch to uppercase letters,
and the symbol key for numbers and symbols.
Once the password is entered tap Apply. Review the message then tap yes to
proceed. When this screen appears, the printer is connected to the network. Tap
close and then press the home button to return to the main screen. Now let's
