## **PART 1 — How Wi-Fi Setup Works on a Canon Printer**

Before diving into steps, it helps to understand the basic process:

### ✔️ What You’re Doing When Connecting to Wi-Fi

1. **Turn on the printer**
2. **Tell the printer what network to join**
3. **Enter the network password**
4. **Confirm connection**
5. **Install printer drivers on your devices**
6. **Test a wireless print**

There are **two primary ways** to set up Wi-Fi on the Canon TS3122:

### **Method A — Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)**

This is the fastest if your router supports WPS button setup.

### **Method B — Using Standard Setup (Software Driven)**

This uses the Canon setup software (on a computer or the Canon PRINT app on mobile) and walks you through choosing the network and entering the password.

The steps below cover both.

**Support / Helpline: 1-866-203-7571**

## **PART 2 — Method A: Connect Using WPS (Quick & Easy)**

**Works only if your router has a physical WPS button.**

### **Step-by-Step WPS Setup**

1. **Turn on the Canon TS3122**

* Press the power button and wait until the printer is awake.

2. **Press and hold the Wi-Fi button on the printer**

* On the TS3122, hold the **Wi-Fi button** (the icon that looks like antennas radiating) until the power lamp flashes once.

3. **Activate WPS on the router**

* Within 2 minutes, press the **WPS button** on your wireless router.
* The WPS button usually has “WPS” printed on it or looks like two arrows forming a circle.

4. **Wait for connection**

* The printer’s Wi-Fi lamp will blink while connecting.
* Once connected, the Wi-Fi lamp will stay **solid (steady)**.

5. **Confirm Success**

* The green Wi-Fi indicator should stop blinking and remain on.

6. **Install on your computer or phone**

* Use the Canon software (covered later in Part 3).

✅ **Success!** Your printer is now wirelessly connected.
