Notes on Network Connection
Before connecting the machine to the network, confirm that configuration of the computer and network devices (router, access point, etc.) complete, and that the computer can connect to the network.
For information on how to confirm the settings of the access point, refer to your access point's instruction manual or contact its manufacturer. For example,
- Disable Stealth (closed network) function
- Confirm MAC address
- Disable the access point's IP address
The configuration, router functions, setup procedures and security functions of the network device vary depending on your environment. For details, refer to your device's instruction manual or contact its manufacturer.
If the firewall function of your security software is turned on the warning message may appear that Canon software is attempting to access the network.
If the warning message appears, set the security software to always allow access.
In an office setup, consult your network administrator.
