Common UK home models include PIXMA TS and TR series; offices often use MAXIFY or imageCLASS lasers.
Brand-specific troubleshooting
PIXMA won’t stay on Wi‑Fi
Canon inkjets are frequently 2.4 GHz-only. Connect to the 2.4 SSID, disable AP isolation, and avoid “Smart Connect†confusion by confirming the network page shows a valid IPv4 address.
Ink absorber / pad warnings
Some PIXMA models eventually show absorber full messages. That is a maintenance threshold — continuing may risk ink overflow. Contact Canon or a technician for service options; don’t ignore leaking ink.
Scanning to computer
Install Canon’s IJ Scan Utility / scanning package from Canon Support. Print-only drivers won’t expose scan. Firewall prompts should allow the Canon scanner tool.
Support code on the panel
Write down the exact support code (e.g. 5B00-style codes). Canon’s site explains each code; we can help interpret the recovery steps when you contact us.
