3. Perform printing or scanning operations: Once connected, you can print or scan from your devices. Just pick the Canon G3000 printer as the destination in your apps or software⁶.

Switching to access point mode lets you easily connect devices to the Canon G3000 printer. This makes printing and scanning smooth. It also means you don’t need a separate Wi-Fi network for this.

The Canon G3000 printer also has other wireless ways to connect, like Cableless setup, WPS setup, and the WPS Pin Code Method⁶. For Cableless setup, connect your printer to a wireless network without a router using its Wi-Fi. WPS setup is easy with a compatible router by pressing the WPS button on both.
