Setting up your Canon GX6020 printer follows a similar process as other models in the Canon MegaTank series. Here’s a step-by-step guide specifically for the GX6020 model:

1. Unboxing and Removing Packing Materials

  • Carefully unbox the printer and remove any protective tapes and packaging.
  • Make sure you have all accessories included with the printer, such as the ink bottles, power cable, and any manuals.

2. Filling the Ink Tanks

  • Open the front cover to access the ink tanks.
  • Each tank has a color-coded cap; use the matching ink bottles to fill each tank carefully.
  • Snap the ink bottle into place and allow it to drain until the tank is full. Remove the bottle carefully and close the tank cap securely to prevent spills.

3. Powering On the Printer

  • Connect the power cable and press the power button to turn on the printer.
  • Follow any initial instructions displayed on the control panel to complete setup steps.

4. Loading Paper

  • Open the paper tray and load paper. Adjust the paper guides so the paper fits snugly.
  • For initial setup, you might want to load a small stack for testing purposes.

5. Connecting to Wi-Fi

  • On the printer’s control panel, go to the Wi-Fi setup menu.
  • Select your network from the list and enter the password to connect.
  • Alternatively, if your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can press the WPS button on your router and follow the on-screen prompts on your printer for a simpler setup.

6. Installing Printer Drivers and Software

  • Go to the Canon support website to download the latest drivers and software for the GX6020.
  • Run the installation program and follow the on-screen prompts. Choose “wireless connection” to set up the printer over Wi-Fi.
  • Complete the installation to connect the printer to your computer or mobile device.

7. Running Initial Test Prints and Alignments

  • After setup, run a test print to ensure the printer is working properly.
  • Follow any prompts for print head alignment or calibration to ensure optimal print quality.

8. Setting Up Mobile Printing (Optional)

  • You can use Canon’s PRINT app to set up mobile printing on your smartphone or tablet. Download the app from the App Store or Google Play, and follow the instructions to connect your GX6020.
