Notes on Wireless Connection

Make sure that the computer is connected to the access point (A) (or wireless network router) you want to connect your
printer to.
The confi guration, router functions, setup procedures and security settings of the network device vary depending on your
system environment. For details, refer to the manual of your network device or contact its manufacturer.
Check if your device supports IEEE802.11n, 802.11g or 802.11b.
If your device is set to the "IEEE802.11 n only" mode, WEP or TKIP cannot be used as a security protocol. Change the
security protocol for your device to something other than WEP and TKIP or change the setting to something other than
"IEEE802.11 n only."
For offi ce use, consult your network administrator.
Take added care when connecting to a network that is not protected with security measures, as there is a risk of disclosing
data such as your personal information to a third party.
An "Ad-hoc connection," which establishes a direct connection to the computer over a wireless connection without an
access point, is not supported. Be sure to prepare an access point.

"P" flashing in the text box of your Canon Pixma MG3222 printer indicates an error related to the wireless connection setup. Here are the steps to troubleshoot this issue: 1. Press the Fit to Page button (A) on the printer. 2. Make sure that the LED flashes as shown in the illustration, then press and hold the WPS button on the access point within 2 minutes. 3. The (blue) Wi-Fi lamp on the printer will flash while searching for or connecting to the access point. When the wireless connection is complete, the LED will light up for about 3 seconds and then change to "1". Make sure that the (blue) Wi-Fi lamp on the printer is lit. If the error persists, try the following troubleshooting steps: 1. Ensure that the network device (router, etc.) is turned on. If it is already turned on, turn it off and then turn it back on. 2. If multiple access points are detected, wait for a while and then configure the WPS settings again. Press the WPS button on only one access point. 3. If an error occurs, check the access point settings and configure the WPS settings again. Please note that these troubleshooting steps are specific to the Canon Pixma MG3222 printer.

To resolve the issue of very light copies after installing new cartridges on the Canon Pixma MG3222 printer, please follow these steps: 1. Check the print settings: Make sure that the print quality settings are set to the appropriate level. Adjust the settings to a higher quality if necessary. 2. Clean the printhead: Use the printer's cleaning function to clean the printhead. This can help remove any clogs or debris that may be affecting the print quality. 3. Check the ink levels: Verify that the new cartridges have enough ink. If the ink levels are low, replace the cartridges with new ones. 4. Perform a test print: Print a test page to check if the print quality has improved. This can help identify any remaining issues with the print output. If the problem persists after following these steps, please contact customer support for further assistance.
