5. Operating the Printer

5.1 Printing

To print documents or photos, ensure the printer is connected to your computer or mobile device and has sufficient paper and ink. Select the print option from your application, choose the Canon MG3670, and adjust settings such as paper size, print quality, and duplex printing (automatic two-sided printing). The printer offers ISO standard print speeds of up to 9.9 images per minute (ipm) for monochrome and 5.7 ipm for color. A 4x6 inch borderless photo can be printed in approximately 44 seconds.

5.2 Scanning

Place the document or photo face down on the scanner glass. Use the Canon IJ Scan Utility software on your computer or a compatible mobile app to initiate a scan. You can choose scan type (document, photo), resolution, and destination. PIXMA Cloud Link scan-related applications are available for users utilizing genuine Canon ink cartridges, allowing direct scanning to cloud services.

5.3 Copying

Place the original document on the scanner glass. Press the Copy button on the printer's control panel. You can select the number of copies and adjust settings like copy quality or type (color/black & white) directly from the printer's interface. The maximum copy speed for black and white documents is 9.9 pages per minute (ppm).

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Printer

Regular cleaning helps maintain print quality and extends the printer's lifespan.

• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the printer with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Scanner Glass: Clean the scanner glass with a soft cloth moistened with glass cleaner. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the glass.
• Interior: Periodically run the print head cleaning utility from your computer's printer settings to clear clogged nozzles and improve print quality.

6.2 Replacing Ink Cartridges

When an ink cartridge runs low or is empty, the printer's indicator light will signal. Open the ink cartridge cover, remove the empty cartridge, and insert a new genuine Canon ink cartridge firmly until it clicks into place. Close the cover. It is recommended to use genuine Canon ink cartridges for optimal performance and print quality.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Canon PIXMA MG3670 printer.

• Printer Not Connecting to Wi-Fi:

  Ensure your Wi-Fi router is on and broadcasting. Verify the Wi-Fi password. Try restarting both the printer and the router. If using a dual-band router, ensure the printer is connecting to a 2.4GHz network, as some older printers may not support 5GHz. For persistent issues, try connecting via USB for initial setup or consult Canon's online support for detailed network troubleshooting guides.
• Paper Jams:

  Turn off the printer and carefully open all covers to locate the jammed paper. Gently pull the paper out in the direction of the paper path, avoiding tearing. Ensure paper is loaded correctly and not overfilled in the tray. Use recommended paper types and weights.

• Poor Print Quality (Streaks, Faded Prints):

  Check ink levels and replace any empty or low cartridges. Perform a print head cleaning and nozzle check from the printer's maintenance utility on your computer. Ensure you are using genuine Canon ink cartridges.

• Printer is Slow:

  Printing speed can vary based on document complexity, print quality settings, and network conditions. For faster printing, select 'Standard' or 'Draft' quality settings instead of 'High Quality'. Ensure your computer meets the recommended system requirements.
