Connecting your Canon TS3122 printer to Wi-Fi allows for wireless printing from your computer, smartphone, or tablet. This guide provides a step-by-step process to establish a seamless connection. We'll cover both methods: using the printer's control panel and the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app.

Getting Started: Preparations

Before we begin, ensure you have the following:

• Your Canon TS3122 printer: Make sure it's turned on and within range of your Wi-Fi router.
• Your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password: You'll need this information to connect the printer.
• A device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) to manage the connection: This device should be connected to the same Wi-Fi network you intend to use for the printer.
• The Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app (Optional but Recommended): Download this app from the Google Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iOS) for easier setup.

Method 1: Connecting via the Printer's Control Panel

This method uses the buttons and display on the Canon TS3122 printer itself.

Step 1: Access the Wireless Setup Menu

1. Turn on your Canon TS3122 printer.
2. Press the [Setup] button. The location of this button varies slightly depending on the model, so check your printer's manual if needed.
3. Navigate to the Wireless LAN setup. You may need to use the arrow buttons to scroll through the menu options.
4. Select "Wireless LAN Setup" or a similar option.

Step 2: Select your Wi-Fi Network

1. The printer will begin searching for available Wi-Fi networks.
2. Use the arrow buttons to select your Wi-Fi network (SSID) from the list.
3. Press the [OK] button to confirm your selection.

Step 3: Enter your Wi-Fi Password

1. The printer will prompt you to enter your Wi-Fi password.
2. Carefully enter your password using the number and letter keys on the control panel. This process might be slow and require patience.
3. Press [OK] to confirm.

Step 4: Confirm the Connection

1. The printer will attempt to connect to your Wi-Fi network.
2. Once the connection is successful, a confirmation message will appear on the printer's display.

Method 2: Connecting via the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY App

This method leverages the Canon app for a potentially simpler setup experience.

Step 1: Install the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY App

Download and install the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app on your smartphone or tablet.

Step 2: Launch the App and Follow the On-Screen Instructions

1. Open the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app.
2. Follow the app's instructions to connect your Canon TS3122 printer to your Wi-Fi network. The app will guide you through the process, prompting you to enter your Wi-Fi network name and password.
3. The app usually handles the more complicated parts of the connection automatically.

Troubleshooting Common Connection Issues

• Printer Not Found: Ensure your printer is turned on and within range of your Wi-Fi router. Restart both the router and the printer. Check for any interference from other devices.
• Incorrect Password: Double-check your Wi-Fi password for typos. Case sensitivity matters.
• Network Issues: If you have problems connecting to other devices on your network, there might be a problem with your router or internet connection. Restart your router and check your internet connection.
• Firewall Issues: Make sure your firewall isn't blocking the printer's connection.

After Successful Connection

Once connected, test your wireless printing by sending a test print from your computer, smartphone, or tablet. Consult your device's printing instructions if needed.

If you continue to experience difficulties, consult the Canon TS3122 printer manual or contact Canon support for further assistance. Remember to always have your printer’s model number readily available when seeking help. This detailed guide should get you up and running with your Canon TS3122 printer and your Wi-Fi network efficiently and smoothly.
