How to connect wireless canon printer to phone

Before attempting to connect your PIXMA printer to your wireless network, please check that you meet the following two conditions:

1. Ensure that you have an access point (sometimes referred to as a router or hub) via which you get an Internet connection. Your access point must be fully functioning before you go to the next step.
2. Ensure that you have a computing device such as a PC, Mac, Tablet or Smartphone, from here on referred to as a computer, which is successfully connected to the Internet.

   In order to confirm whether the computer to be used with the printer is connected to the network, try to browse an Internet website from the computer, for example www.canon-europe.com. In the event that the webpage does not show, you are not successfully connected to the Internet and this must be fixed before proceeding.

ATTENTION

If you have problems or are not sure how to set up your access point or your Internet connection, please refer to the instruction manual for the access point you are using or contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Once the above conditions have been confirmed, please select your product below to access the wireless setup instructions.
