Cannot Communicate with the Printer over the Wireless LAN
Check1  Make sure that the printer is turned on.
Check2 Make sure that the network settings in the printer are identical with those of
the access point.
Refer to the instruction manual provided with the access point or contact its manufacturer to check the access
point settings, and then modify the printer settings.

Check3  Make sure that the printer is not placed far away from the access point.
The access point is located indoors within the effective range for wireless communication. Locate the printer within 164 ft. / 50 m from the access point.
Check4  Make sure that there is no obstruction.
Wireless communication between different rooms or floors is generally poor. Adjust the location of the devices.
Check5  Make sure that there is no source of radio wave interference in your vicinity.
If a device (e.g. microwave oven) using the same frequency bandwidth as the wireless station is placed
nearby, the device may cause interference. Place the wireless station as far away from the interference source
as possible.
Check6  Make sure that the network settings of the computer are correct.
For the procedures to connect a network device to the computer and set them up, refer to the instruction manual of your network device or contact its manufacturer.
Check7  Make sure that the radio status is good and adjust the installation positions
while monitoring the radio status with IJ Network Tool.
Monitoring Wireless Network Status
Check8  Make sure that a valid wireless channel is used.
414 
						

							The wireless channel to be used may be limited depending on wireless network devices installed in the
computer. Refer to the instruction manual provided with your computer or your wireless network device to
specify the valid wireless channel.
Check9  Make sure that the channel confirmed in Check 8 can communicate with the
computer.
If not, change the channel set to the access point.
Check10  Make sure that the firewall of the security software is disabled.
If the firewall function of your security software is turned on, a message may appear warning that Canon
software is attempting to access the network. If the warning message appears, set the security software to
always allow access.
If using any programs that switch the network environment, check their settings. Some programs will enable a
firewall by default.
Check11  When using a router, connect the printer and computer to the LAN side
(same network segment).
If the problem is not resolved, perform setup again with the Setup CD-ROM or perform it according to theinstructions on our website.

						

							2.Press and hold the Wi-Fi button, then release the button when the  POWER lamp flashes 3 times.
When the  POWER lamp changed from flashing to lit, the access point mode is enabled.
Check3
 Is the printer selected to connect external communication devices (e.g.
computers, smartphones, or tablets)?
Select an access point name (SSID) specified for the printer as a destination for external communication devices.
Check4  Enter a password if you specify it for the printer.
Check5 Make sure that external communication devices are not placed far away from
the printer.
Do not locate external communication devices too far away from the printer.
Check6  Make sure that there is no obstruction.
Wireless communication between different rooms or floors is generally poor. Adjust the location of the devices.
Check7  Make sure that there is no source of radio wave interference in your vicinity.
If a device (e.g. microwave oven) using the same frequency bandwidth as the wireless station is placed
nearby, the device may cause interference. Place the wireless station as far away from the interference source
as possible.
Check8  Are you trying to connect 6 devices or more?
You can connect up to 5 devices using the access point mode.
Cannot Print from a Computer Connected to the Network
Check1  Make sure that the network settings of the computer are correct.
For the procedures to set up the computer, refer to the instruction manual of your computer or contact its
manufacturer.
Check2  If the printer driver is not installed, install it.
Install the printer driver with the Setup CD-ROM or install it from our website.
Check3  Make sure that access control is not set to the access point.
For the procedures to connect an access point and set it up, refer to the instruction manual of your access
point or contact its manufacturer.

Check1 The printer may be printing out a large job issued from another computer.
Check2
 Make sure that the radio status is good and adjust the installation positions
while monitoring the radio status with IJ Network Tool.
Monitoring Wireless Network Status
Make sure that there is no barrier or obstacle between the access point and the printer. Wireless communication
between different rooms or floors is generally poor. The metal, concrete, or timber including the metallic material,
mud wall, or insulator may interrupt a wireless communication. If the printer cannot communicate with the
computer over a wireless LAN for the wall material, place the printer and the computer in the same room or floor.
Check3  Make sure that there is no source of interference in your vicinity.
If a device (e.g. microwave oven) using the same frequency bandwidth as the wireless station is placed nearby,
the device may cause interference. Place the wireless station as far away from the interference source as
possible.

							Cannot Use the Printer on Replacing an Access Point or Changing
Its settings
When you replace an access point, perform network setup of the printer again.
Perform network setup again with the Setup CD-ROM or perform it again according to the instructions on
our website.

Cannot Communicate with the Printer After Applying MAC/IP Address Filtering or Entering an Encryption
Key to the Access Point
When Encryption Is Enabled, Cannot Communicate With the Printer After the Encryption Type Was
Switched on the Access Point
Cannot Communicate with the Printer After Applying MAC/IP Address
Filtering or Entering an Encryption Key to the Access Point
Check1  Confirm the access point setting.
Refer to the instruction manual provided with the access point or contact its manufacturer to confirm the
access point setting. Make sure that the computer and the access point can communicate with each other
under this setting.
Check2  If you are performing MAC address filtering or IP address filtering at the
access point, confirm that the MAC address or IP address for both the computer or the
network device and the printer are registered.
Check3  If you are using a WEP or WPA/WPA2 key, make sure that the encryption
key for the computer or the network device and the printer matches that set to the
access point.
Besides the WEP key itself, the key length, key format, the key ID to use, and the authentication method must
match among the printer, the access point, and the computer.
Normally, select  Auto for the authentication method. If you want to specify the method manually, select  Open
System  or Shared Key  according to the setting of the access point.
How to Set an Encryption Key
When Encryption Is Enabled, Cannot Communicate With the Printer After
