Introduction to Canon Printer and Wireless Networking

Assuming you have a wireless router set up and your computer is already connected to the network, follow these steps to connect your Canon printer:

1. On the printer, press and hold the Wi-Fi button until the light starts flashing blue.

2. Use the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app to scan for and connect to the printer. Alternatively, you can open the Canon IJ Network Tool on your computer and select Add Device to find the printer.

If you're having trouble connecting your Canon printer to a wireless network, make sure that the router's SSID (name) is broadcasting and that there are no security passwords set up. You should also double-check that the printer is compatible with your wireless router's frequency (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz).
