Printing Does Not Start
Check 1: Is Bluetooth unit ready for use?
Make sure that the Bluetooth settings screen can be displayed on the LCD of the printer. If the
screen cannot be displayed, Bluetooth communication is disabled. Remove the Bluetooth unit from
the printer and attach it once again.
Attaching to and Removing from the Printer
Make sure that the Bluetooth settings screen can be displayed on the LCD of the printer, and try to
print again.
If the Bluetooth settings screen still is not displayed after you remove the Bluetooth unit from the
printer and attach it again, the Bluetooth unit may be faulty. In this case, contact your Canon service
representative.
Check 2: Is there a problem with the location of the printer or is the
distance between the printer and computer too great?
The maximum communication distance between the printer and a computer is about 33 ft./10 m, but
it varies depending on the following conditions:
Presence of obstacles between the communication equipment and radio wave conditions
Location where magnetic fields, static electricity, or radio interference occurs
Type of software and operating system used
Receiver sensitivity and antenna performance of the communication equipment
Change the printer installation place or move the printer closer to the computer.
