PIXMA PRO-10 Wi-Fi Setup Guide

WPS Connection Method

Before we start, there are some conditions that must be met in order to use the WPS push button method:

• The access point must have a physical WPS push button available. Please check with your device’s user guide for details.
  If the WPS push button is not available please use the instructions in the Standard Connection Method section.

• Your network must be using the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 security protocol. Most WPS enabled access points use this protocol.

Step 1

1. Make sure that the printer is turned on.

2. Press and hold the [Wi-Fi ] button on the front of the printer for a few seconds.

Step 2

1. Make sure that this button starts to flash blue and then go to your access point and press the [WPS] button within 2 minutes.

For exact details regarding pressing the WPS button, please refer to the access point manual.

The (blue) Wi-Fi lamp on the printer will continue flashing while searching for, or connecting to the access point. When the printer has successfully made a connection to your wireless network, the blue lamp will stop flashing and remain lit.

Network settings confirmation

To confirm that your printer is successfully connected to your wireless network, you can print out the network settings of your printer if you wish:

1. Make sure that your printer is turned on.
2. Load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper.
3. Press and hold the [Resume/Cancel ] button until the power lamp flashes 6 times, and then release it. The network information page will be printed.

When referring to the printout, check that the “Connection” indicates “Active” and that the SSID - Service Set Identifier (the name of your wireless network) indicates the correct name of your wireless network.

This concludes the WPS setup procedure.

Please now proceed by installing the software to make the most out of your PIXMA PRO-10.

If you do not have the installation CD that came with your product, please download the manuals and software to continue.

Restoring Network Settings to Factory Default

If you need to reset your network settings back to factory default, for example if you change your access point, you can do so by following these instructions.

Please note that initialisation erases all network settings on the machine, so printing or scanning from a computer over the network will become impossible until the printer is re-configured with new network settings.

1. Press and hold the [RESUME/CANCEL ] button until the POWER lamp flashes 9 times.
2. Release the [RESUME/CANCEL ] button.

The network settings are initialised.

The network settings have been reset back to factory default settings.

If this process is still failing after following this guide, please contact us for further assistance.
