PIXMA iP110 Wireless Connection Setup

PIXMA iP110 Wireless Connection Setup – Canon Central and North Africa Choose another country or region

Some access points (often called routers or hubs) feature an automatic connection button labelled “WPS” which stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup and allows permitted devices to connect to your network without needing to enter a password. This is the easiest way of connecting your PIXMA printer, so if your access point has a WPS button please select ‘WPS Connection Method’ below for instructions on connecting using this method.

If your access point does not support WPS, please select ‘Standard Connection Method’ below.

  • WPS Connection Method
  • Standard Connection Method (Windows)
  • Standard Connection Method (Mac)
  • Restore Factory Settings

WPS Connection Method

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.
  • 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 white power 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 white power lamp will also start to flash. When the printer has successfully made a connection to your wireless network, the blue and white lamps will stop flashing and remain lit.

Network Settings Confirmation

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 [Resume/Cancel
    ] button until the white power lamp flashes 6 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.
