Once you have accessed the wireless setup menu, look for an option that says “Wireless LAN Setup” or something similar. This is where you will configure your printer to connect to a wireless network.
Step 4: Choose the Wireless LAN Setup Method
Your printer may offer different methods for connecting to a wireless network, such as WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) or manual setup. For the purpose of this guide, we will focus on the manual setup method, which is typically more straightforward.

After selecting the manual setup method, you will be prompted to enter the name of your wireless network (SSID) and the corresponding password. Use the printer’s keypad to enter this information accurately.
Step 6: Confirm the Connection
Once you have entered the network name and password, the printer will attempt to connect to the wireless network. If successful, you should see a confirmation message on the printer’s LCD screen. If not, double-check the network name and password, and try again.
Step 7: Install Printer Drivers on Your Computer
To ensure that your computer can communicate with the printer over the wireless network, you will need to install the appropriate printer drivers. You can download the drivers from the Canon website or use the CD that came with your printer. Follow the instructions provided to install the drivers on your computer.
Step 8: Test the Connection
