How to Identify and Fix Common Problems ?

Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced technical support :

Canon`s proprietary languages are Ultra Fast Renderer 2 (UFR II) and GARO, other common PDL`s are PCL (HP) and Postscript (Adobe). Most Canon Multifunctional Printers understand UFR II and PCL straight out of the box.
For most Inkjet printers, the model may be printed on the front, top or near the operational panel (see images below). If you require assistance locating the serial number for your Pixma printer, please click here .
EOS Utility is an application that brings together functions to communicate with the camera. These functions include downloading and displaying images, remote shooting, and camera control for each setting.
The PIXMA TS and TR are two of the printer series by Canon, that have a high print speed.
Turn the camera on, go back to the menu, and find the Firmware version section once again. Select it, and you will be able to see the current firmware version. Select the firmware version you want to update to.
Firmware updates on your printer, just like your phone, can fix technical bugs with your device that help improve performance and keeps the machine`s programs running as smoothly as possible.
The serial number is printed on a white sticker attached to each printer. The serial number will consists of 9 alphanumeric characters (4 letters followed by 5 numbers).
To print wirelessly from a Canon printer, both your computer and printer need to be connected to your LAN (wireless network). To check the network, print out the Network (LAN) settings and look for the SSID (Network name). Click the appropriate Network icon in the system tray: Note the SSID name (Network name).
In the Windows Settings search box, type “Printer,” then select Add a printer or scanner. In the Printers & scanners page, select Add a printer or scanner. Select your printer when you see it appear, then follow any additional instructions to install the printer driver.
The Canon IJ printer driver (simply called printer driver below) is software that you install onto your computer so that it can communicate with the printer.
In short, no! Printers need specific cartridges to work, which is why we have clear listings across the website for what ink works in any printer. You cannot just use any model/brand cartridge in a printer, even if they look the same.
With the device switched on navigate to the `set up` menu then select `Wireless LAN set up`. Then choose your wireless access point or wireless router from the list, enter your password then press `end set up`. One the flashing blue wireless light goes solid blue, you`re connected.
The easiest way to connect the Canon printer to the computer is via a USB cable. It`s the traditional method of connecting devices. One end of the USB remains connected to the printer, and the other must be connected to the computer`s USB port.
