Unpacking
To start with the Canon imageCLASS MF264DW printer setup, the first obvious step is unpacking, and it's not just about peeling off the package. You need to be sure that every part of the printer is free of the protective tapes and insulation materials, which, if left as such, could cause some severe damages to the printer.
While unpacking, you should check whether you have been delivered with all the required printer accessories. If any component is missing, make a call immediately to the manufacturer enquiring the same.
Typically, the package should contain a user guide, installation disc, power cord, warranty card, toner cartridge & drum cartridge (pre-installed inside the printer), along with the Canon imageCLASS printer.
Powering up the printer
Using the power cord, connect your Canon imageCLASS MF246DW printer to an electrical outlet and turn it on. Wait for the printer to initialize and turn on. Proceed to set the basic printer preferences on the control panel. Don’t forget to save the settings.
Setting up the printer over a network, USB, or wireless connection
Now that the printer is turned on, you can begin the connection setup. The Canon imageCLASS MF246DW printer supports wireless, wired, and USB cable connection. Depending on your requirement and convenience, you can select any one of the connection modes and configure the printer.
Now, let’s see how to connect the printer to a local wireless network. Turn on your Wi-Fi router first. For the wireless connection between your computer and the printer, the router acts as the medium. So, you have to connect your computer and the printer to the same network.
To configure the printer for the wireless setup, you need to install the printer driver on your computer and perform the wireless setup. You can either download the printer driver and then install it or use the CD provided along with the printer for driver installation.
In either case, the driver installation procedure is the same. During the installation, the installer would prompt you to select a connection type. Choose the Wireless Connection option and then follow the prompts displayed on the screen to connect your Canon printer to the wireless network. Once the wireless setup is done, you can print a test page to verify the same.
As you see, the setup is simple. However, if you need assistance, you can very well contact us, and we’ll provide remote assistance.
