## Quick overview — the three easiest ways

1. **Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app (recommended for phones/tablets)** — Easiest for iOS/Android. Use the app to find the printer and enter your Wi-Fi password.
2. **Printer control panel (manual wireless setup)** — Good when you have the SSID and password and prefer not to use an app.
3. **WPS push button** — Fast if your router supports WPS (Push Button mode).

Which to choose? If you’re using a smartphone/tablet use the Canon PRINT app. If you’re on a laptop or desktop and prefer not to install extra apps, use manual setup from the printer. If both devices support WPS and you want fastest possible setup, use WPS.

# Before you start — checklist

Make sure of the following before attempting to connect:

* Your Canon TR150 is turned on and has paper and ink.
* You know your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password (network key).
* Your Wi-Fi router is working and within range of the printer (ideally within 5–10 meters without many walls).
* If your router has **dual band**, note whether you’re connecting to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz network. The TR150 typically prefers 2.4 GHz for setup — if possible use the 2.4 GHz SSID.
* For WPS: your router must support WPS Push Button (not all routers do).
* If you plan to print from phones, install **Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY** (iOS App Store or Google Play) or ensure AirPrint / Mopria compatibility on your device.

**call** **1-866-203-7571**

# Method 1 — Using the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app (iOS/Android)

This is the user-friendly method for phones and tablets.

### 1. Install the app

* iPhone or iPad: open the **App Store**, search **Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY**, and install.
* Android: open **Google Play**, search **Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY**, and install.

### 2. Prepare the printer

* Turn on the TR150.
* Make sure it isn’t connected to another network or in an error state. If unsure, switch it off and on again.

### 3. Open the app and add printer

* Open **Canon PRINT** and accept permissions if prompted.
* Tap **Add Printer** or the plus icon.
* The app will search for printers on the same Wi-Fi network. If your phone is on mobile data, switch it to your Wi-Fi network first.

### 4. If the app doesn’t find the printer automatically

* Use the app’s **Wireless LAN setup** wizard. The app will guide you through temporarily connecting your phone to the printer’s temporary network, then sending your Wi-Fi credentials to the printer.
* Follow on-screen prompts: choose your home Wi-Fi SSID and enter the password.

### 5. Confirm connection

* When the app reports that the printer connected to your Wi-Fi network, print a test page from the app to confirm.

**Tip:** If your phone asks to switch networks during setup (to a network named something like `Canon_ij_XXXX`), allow it — this is normal and temporary.

# Method 2 — Manual wireless setup from the TR150 control panel

If you prefer to enter network details directly on the printer:

### 1. Turn the printer on

* Make sure the printer is in ready state.

### 2. Enter setup mode

* On TR150, press the **Wi-Fi** button (look for the wireless icon). If the printer has a screen, use the menu:

* **Menu** → **Network** or **Wireless LAN setup**.
* Choose **Standard setup**.

### 3. Select your wireless network

* The printer will scan and display nearby SSIDs.
* Select your Wi-Fi SSID from the list. If you don’t see the SSID, you can choose **Enter manually** and type the SSID (case sensitive).

### 4. Enter the Wi-Fi password

* Carefully enter the network password (case matters). Use the on-screen keyboard or the control buttons.

### 5. Wait for connection

* The printer will attempt to connect. When successful, the Wi-Fi icon will become steady (no blinking) and you’ll be able to print.

### 6. Print a network settings page (optional)

* Use the menu to print a **Network Configuration** or **LAN settings** page to confirm IP address and connection details.

**call** **1-866-203-7571**

# Method 3 — WPS Push Button setup (fastest when available)

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) connects compatible devices with a button press — no password entry required.

> **Important:** WPS has some security limitations. Use only if necessary and disable WPS on router afterwards if you’re security conscious.

### 1. Check router for WPS button

* Locate the **WPS** button on your router (sometimes labelled WPS, circle icon, or two arrows).

### 2. Start WPS on router

* Press the **WPS** button on the router — you usually have about 2 minutes to complete the printer step.

### 3. Start WPS on the TR150

* On the printer, press and hold the **Wi-Fi** button or select **WPS (Push Button)** via the **Network** menu.
* The printer will search and join the router automatically.

### 4. Confirm connection

* The printer’s Wi-Fi lamp should stop blinking and remain steady. Print a test page.

# Connecting from a Windows PC

If you want to install drivers and ensure the printer is visible to Windows:

### 1. Connect the TR150 to Wi-Fi first (use one of the methods above)

### 2. Download Canon driver & software (optional but recommended)

* For best performance, download the latest **Canon PIXMA TR150** drivers and **Canon IJ Network Tool** from Canon’s official site. (If you prefer not to visit the website you can install the driver from the CD if your model included one.)

### 3. Add printer in Windows

* **Windows 10/11**: Settings → **Bluetooth & devices** → **Printers & scanners** → **Add device**.
* Windows will search and list the TR150. Click **Add device**.
* If Windows doesn’t find it, use **Add a printer or scanner** → **The printer I want isn’t listed** → choose network printer options (add by IP address if you printed the network configuration page and have the IP).

### 4. Print a test page

* Right-click the printer → **Printer properties** → **Print Test Page**.

**call** **1-866-203-7571**

# Connecting from a Mac

### 1. Make sure the TR150 is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

**call** **1-866-203-7571**

# Advanced options — static IP, port forwarding, firewall

### Static IP (recommended for stable network printing)

* After connecting, use the Canon **Network Configuration** or your router’s DHCP reservation feature to assign a fixed IP to the TR150. This prevents the printer’s IP from changing and causing “offline” errors on some PCs.

### Firewall/Routers and multiple subnets

* Ensure devices (PC/phone and printer) are on the same subnet. Guest networks often isolate devices and block printing.
* If you have a firewall or antivirus software, temporarily disable it while adding the printer, then add exceptions for Canon software if required.
