In this video we'll cover how to set up your Canon imageCLASS printer on a
wireless network with a Windows® computer. 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
install the software. Download the drivers from the Canon website by
visiting us at Canon.com/Support.
Follow these links to download the software for your printer.
Open the downloaded file on your computer to get started.
Click Next to start the installation process. The License Agreement screen
will be displayed. Read the license agreement and if you agree to the terms,
click yes to continue with the installation. Select network connection,
and then click Next.
If this message appears, click yes to make exceptions for the Windows Firewall.
The software will begin to search for your device. Select your printer from the
list, then click Next.
Place a check in the box for each option you wish to install, and then click next.
Now select each driver you wish to install, and then click Next.
The UFR II printer drivers are the most common and they'll work for most users.
Confirm the name of your printer and then click next. If you installed the fax
drivers, this screen will appear. Confirm the name of your fax, and then click next.
Confirm your settings, then click start to begin the installation. Now the
drivers will be installed. This may take several minutes. When the installation is
complete, this screen will appear. Select a device as your default printer, and
then click Next. If you would like to make a test print,
place a check in the box, and click exit. You can skip test printing by removing
the check, and clicking exit.
