Notes on Network Connection
•The configuration, router functions, setup procedures and security settings of
the network device vary depending on your system environment. For details,
refer to your device's instruction manual or contact its manufacturer.
•In an office setup, consult your network administrator
•If you connect to a network that is not protected with security measures, there
is a risk of disclosing data such as your personal information to a third party.
•If an error message appears or if you have trouble with the network
connection, refer to the printed manual: Network Setup Troubleshooting.
•Place the machine and computer on the same network segment.
An "Ad-hoc connection," which establishes a direct wireless connection between
the computer and printer without using an access point, is not supported.
A router or access point is required for your printer to be used on a wireless
network.

Installing the PIXMA MG3120 on Additional Computers
If your printer is already set up on your network, and you wish to use the printer from additional computers, you only need to install the printer software
on the other computers. There are no further settings that need to be performed on the printer, and the printer does not have to be connected with the
USB cable.
A step-by-step walk through of the wireless setup is built in to the installation routine of the software that shipped with your PIXMA.
*Insert the Setup CD-ROM that came with your printer into your CD-ROM drive and proceed through the easy to follow instructions.
*If you don’t have or cannot use the Setup CD-ROM, you can still install the printer using a downloaded file. Click here for information.
Be sure to select Wireless Connection on the Connection Method Selection screen (1-2).
Follow any on-screen instructions until the Completion of Connection screen (1-4) appears. This is shown on the next page.

can be downloaded separately. The software can be found in the Software section of Drivers & Software (the same page where you
