Connecting Device to Printer

• Before connecting a computer to the printer and start printing with the method below, complete setup for wireless LAN (via a wireless router) using the Setup CD-ROM or from our website (canon.com/ijsetup).

1. Turn on wireless communication on your computer or smartphone.

   For Android or iOS, enable "Wi-Fi" on your device's "Setting" menu. For more on the procedure, refer to device's instruction manual.

   For iOS:

   

2. Select "XXXXXX-iP110series" ("XXXXXX" represents last six digits of printer's MAC address.) from SSID list displayed on device.

3. Enter password.

   The printer serial number is specified as a default password. It is printed on the sticker attached on the printer rear and consists of 9 alphanumeric characters (four alphabets followed by five numbers).

   Before we start, there are some conditions that must be met in order to use the WPS push button method:

   • The access point must have a physical WPS push button available. Please check with your device’s user guide for details.
     If the WPS push button is not available please use the instructions in the Standard Connection Method section.
   • Your network must be using the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 security protocol. Most WPS enabled access points use this protocol
   
   
   1. Make sure that the printer is turned on.
   2. Press and hold the [Wi-Fi
      
      ] button on the top of the printer until the orange alarm lamp flashes once and then release it.
   3. Make sure that the Wi-Fi button starts to flash blue and then go to your access point and press the [WPS] button within 2 minutes.
      For exact details regarding pressing the WPS button, please refer to the access point manual.
      

   The blue Wi-Fi lamp on the printer will continue flash while searching for, or connecting to the access point. During the setup the green power lamp will also start to flash. When the printer has successfully made a connection to your wireless network, the blue and green lamps will stop flashing and remain lit.

   To confirm that your printer is successfully connected to your wireless network, you can print out the network settings of your printer if you wish:

   1. Make sure that your printer is turned on.
   2. Load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper.
   3. Press and hold the [Cancel
      
      ] button until the orange alarm lamp flashes 15 times and then release it. The network information page will be printed.

   When referring to the printout, check that the “Connection” indicates “Active” and that the SSID -Service Set Identifier (or the name of your wireless network) indicates the correct name of your wireless network.

   
   This concludes the WPS setup procedure.

   Please now proceed by installing the software to make the most out of your PIXMA MG2940.

   If you do not have the installation CD that came with your product, please download the manuals and software.

   If the wireless setup is still failing after following this guide, please contact us for further assistance.
