Canon PIXMA TS3100 Review
Establishing a Canon PIXMA TS3100 collection printer for wireless printing involves several actions. Here is a basic overview of how to help you start. Please remember that the specific actions may differ slightly depending on your OS and network setup.
Canon PIXMA TS3100 Wireless Configuration
Collect Your Network Information
Ensure your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password (network key) are handy.
Prepare the Printer
- Connect in your PIXMA TS3100 printer and transform it on.
- Ensure there’s paper in the paper tray and install the ink cartridges.
Access the Control Panel
On the printer’s control board, push and hold the Wi-Fi switch (the switch with a Wi-Fi symbol) until the ON light flashes.
Connect to Wi-Fi
- Launch the Wi-Fi switch once the ON light begins to blink.
- The printer will currently look for available Wi-Fi networks. The Wi-Fi light will blink quickly while searching.
Select Your Network
- Use the arrowhead switches to browse the available networks on the printer’s display.
- When you see your network name (SSID), select it.
Enter Your Wi-Fi Password
- You’ll be triggered to enter your network if it is secured with a password. Use the printer’s display and keypad to input the password.
- Ensure the password is entered properly, as it’s case-sensitive.
Complete the Configuration
- After going into the password, push the OK switch on the printer.
- The printer will attempt to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Once connected, the Wi-Fi light will quit blinking and remain lit.
Install Printer Software
You might need to install the Canon printer software to complete the configuration on your computer system. You can usually find this on the Canon website or use the installation CD with the printer.
Include the Printer on Your Computer system.
- On your computer system, most likely to the “Printers & Scanners” (Windows) or “Print & Scan” (Mac) setups.
- Click the “Include a printer” or “Include printer” option.
- Your PIXMA TS3100 should show up in the list of available printers. Please select it and follow any on-screen instructions to finish the installation.
Test Your Wireless Link
Print an examination web page or document to ensure the wireless configuration succeeds.
Your Canon PIXMA TS3100 should currently be set for wireless printing. Remember that the specific actions and displays may differ slightly depending on your printer model and OS. If you encounter any problems throughout the configuration process, consult the printer’s manual or visit Canon’s official support website for detailed instructions and fixing assistance.

Canon PIXMA TS3100 Mistake Codes
The Canon PIXMA TS3100 collection printers may display various mistake codes to indicate problems or breakdowns. These mistake codes will help you identify and resolve problems with your printer. Listed below are some common mistake codes for the Canon PIXMA TS3100 collection:
- E02 – Paper Out Mistake
This mistake suggests that the printer has run from paper. Add more paper to the tray and push the “OK” switch to proceed with printing.

This mistake occurs when there’s a paper jam inside the printer. Open the printer’s cover, remove the obstructed paper carefully, and then push “OK” to clear the mistake.

This mistake recommends that the printer cannot acknowledge one or both of the ink cartridges. Try removing and reseating the ink cartridges. If the issue continues, you might need to change the cartridges with authentic Canon ones.

This mistake is related to problems with the ink cartridges. Ensure the cartridges are properly installed and sitting. If the problem proceeds, consider changing the ink cartridges.

This is another paper jam mistake. Look for any obstructed paper inside the printer and remove it carefully. Push “OK” to clear the mistake.
