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
connection to the computer over a wireless connection
without using an access point, is not supported.

Software Installation
If the machine is already connected to a wireless connection, it can be used from additional computers on the same network. Only the software
needs to be installed. It is not necessary to make any changes or settings on the printer itself.
To use from additional computers

•Log on as the administrator (or a member of the Administrators group).
•Quit all running applications before installation.
•If the firewall function of your security software is turned on, a warning message may appear that Canon software is attempting to access
the network. If such a warning message appears, set the security software to always allow access.

Installing the PIXMA MG4220 on Additional Computers
If your printer is already on your network, and you wish to use the printer from additional computers, you will need to install the printer software on the
other computers. 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.
Simply insert the Setup CD-ROM that came with your printer into your CD-ROM drive of each computer you wish to use with the printer and proceed
through the easy to follow instructions. You’ll be printing wirelessly from the other computers on your network in no time.
