Canon imageclass printer setup how to#

Had a Canon imageCLASS D680 for 14 years and aside from the document feeder on top not working correctly for the last 12 years or so, its been very reliable until now. Then it wouldnt wake up from energy saving mode to receive a fax without turning it off and back on again. I can't understand why a newer (and more expensive) printer is LESS versatile than an older and less expensive model.Ĭan anyone help me get my fax to work? It appears to SEND faxes (although I have no idea if the fax I sent was received), but it does not receive faxes.Īnd, to reiterate what others said in the reviews that I read, the instructions, including online videos, are NOT clear and basically lousy. Hasnt accurately faxed since it was set up. I do not want my answering machine in the room where I have my printer.

The instructions imply that I am supposed to connect the answering machine directly to the printer/fax. This video demonstrates how to connect your Canon imageCLASS multifunction device (copier, printer, scanner) to your wi-fi network.Models: MF414dw, MF416dw. Please make sure that you describe your difficulty with the Canon imageCLASS D420 as. The only thing I may have not followed to the letter is this: I left my answering machine connected the same way it was for my Maxify that stopped working. If you use the machine as a local printer, connect the machine. Depending on the networking device, you may need to press and hold the button for 2 seconds or longer. The button must be pressed within 2 minutes after pressing in step 6. Press and hold the WPS button on the wireless router.

I cannot find anything online that tells me to do anything differently than what I have done. Select , and press.

On the Network Scanner screen click the +. Click Canon MF Scan Utility in the upper left corner and select Network. In this folder you will find the Canon MF. I was on hold with Customer Service for 1 hour and 45 minutes before I had to disconnect to attend to other obligations. Open your Applications Folder and look for the Canon MF Utilities Folder. I read the reviews for this printer so I was aware that setup was not intuitive and might require assistance.
