If that does not fix the issue, reset the Wi-Fi settings, restore factory settings, or use a model-specific button reset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The important thing is knowing which reset you actually need.

Start with a power reset because it is quick, safe, and does not erase your settings. If the issue is related to Wi-Fi, reset only the network settings. If you are selling the printer or dealing with persistent setup problems, use the factory reset option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Canon printers without a screen, always check the exact model before using a button reset. Canon reset sequences can vary, and following the wrong instructions may waste time or reset the wrong setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, do not just reset your Canon printer.
