Gather the Required Information
Before starting the setup process, it’s important to gather all the necessary information. You will need your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password. Make sure you also have a computer or mobile device connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the printer.
Connect Your Printer to Wi-Fi
To begin the setup, turn on your Canon PIXMA TS3150 printer and wait for it to initialize. Once ready, press and hold down the Wi-Fi button on the printer until the light next to it starts flashing. This enters “Wireless Setup Mode” on your printer.
Now, go to your computer or mobile device’s Wi-Fi settings and find the available networks. Look for a network name starting with “Canon_ij_”. Select this network as your Wi-Fi connection.
Once connected, open a web browser on your device and type in “http://canonijnetwork.local/” in the address bar. This will open up the Canon IJ Network Device Setup Utility.
Install Printer Software
On the setup utility page, click on “Start Setup” and then select “Wireless LAN Connection”. The software will now search for available printers on your network.
Select your Canon PIXMA TS3150 from the list of printers found by clicking on its name. Follow any additional prompts or instructions provided by the software to complete the installation process.
Once the software installation is complete, you may be prompted to restart your computer or mobile device. If so, follow the given instructions and ensure that your device reconnects to your regular Wi-Fi network after the restart.
Test Your Wireless Connection
After completing the setup process, it’s important to test your wireless connection to ensure that your Canon PIXMA TS3150 is properly connected and ready for use.
Open a document or photo on your computer or mobile device and select “Print”. Choose your Canon PIXMA TS3150 as the printer and adjust any print settings as desired. Click “Print” to send the print job to your printer.
If everything is set up correctly, you should hear the printer start printing. Check that the printed output matches what you intended to print.
