The manual WiFi installation process for printer

New printer models provide multi-connection service. Now the user can easily connect his printer to the system. You can use the printer with various devices. Users can connect the printer either using the cable or Wi-Fi. When you need to take the printout from a distance where you can’t use the cable, go for Wi-Fi installation. It helps the user to take the printout easily.

Connecting printer to PC with a Wi-Fi installation

For connecting the printer to Wi-Fi; you should check certain features. Go and check the access point (router) for a WPS pin. When you see the physical WPS pin then select the WPS method for connecting the printer. Users can connect the printer to the network like other devices. But your printer must support the Wi-Fi connection method.

Open the printer and press its Wi-Fi button

Now the Wi-Fi lamp of your printer will start flashing

Tap the WPS pin on router

Check the Wi-Fi lamp of the printer as it will start searching the network

When the lamp becomes steady, the printer gets connected to the network

Once the printer is connected; you have to check for the network as sometimes the printer gets connected to another network. Users can print the configuration page by pressing the Resume button of the printer until the lamp flashes around fifteen times. Now the printer will give you the printout of your configuration. Take the printout and check the SSID and status. If the connection is correct then you can take the printouts easily.

Installing the printer driver on your systems

After connecting the printer to the network; the user should check for the systems. For taking the printouts; you will require the printer driver. Check the devices which are on the same network. Now install the driver for the printer on all devices from which you want to take the printouts. In devices with disc drives, use the CD for driver installation. On other devices, open the browser and search for the printer driver. After driver installation; the Canon mg3600 setup wifi is complete.
