Step 1: Gather Your Essentials
Before beginning the setup process, make sure you have everything ready. You will need your Canon TS6420 printer, a stable Wi-Fi connection, and a device (like a computer or smartphone) to control the setup. Ensure that your printer is plugged in and powered on before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2: Connect Your Printer to Wi-Fi
To connect your Canon TS6420 to Wi-Fi, first press the ‘Home’ button on the printer’s control panel. Use the navigation buttons to select ‘Wireless LAN Setup’ and press ‘OK’. Choose ‘Easy Wireless Connect’ and follow any prompts displayed on-screen. The printer will search for available networks; select yours from the list and enter the Wi-Fi password when prompted.
Step 3: Download and Install Software
Next, you’ll need to download and install Canon’s software on your device. Visit the official Canon website or use a CD that came with your printer. Look for ‘Drivers & Downloads’ for model TS6420 to find compatible software for Windows or Mac OS. Follow installation instructions carefully; this will allow seamless communication between devices.
Step 4: Add Printer on Your Device
Once you’ve installed the necessary software, it’s time to add your new printer on whatever device you’re using. For Windows users, go to ‘Settings’, then click ‘Devices’, followed by ‘Printers & Scanners’. Click ‘Add a Printer or Scanner’—your TS6420 should appear in this list. Select it and click ‘Add Device’. For Mac users, navigate to ‘System Preferences’, then click ‘Printers & Scanners’ where you can also add it similarly.
Step 5: Print Test Page and Enjoy.
After adding your printer successfully, it’s always good practice to print a test page. This ensures that everything is working as intended before diving into larger print jobs.

If all goes well with no connection issues, enjoy printing effortlessly.
