## **1. Introduction to Canon Printer Wi-Fi Setup**

Canon printers are designed to make wireless printing simple and efficient. Once your Canon printer is connected to Wi-Fi, you can print from your computer, smartphone, or tablet without physically connecting cables.

A Wi-Fi setup allows your printer to:
