PIXMA TS202 & MG3600 Series - Sleep mode setup

BDH2022 — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 14:29:06 GMT

I presently have Canon TS202 printer. It is off but when I want to print something, it will come on and print what I require and then go off sometime later.

Now I have another Canon printer MG3600. I tried to find on the online manual how to set it up the same as my TS202 but wasn't able to find anything. I do not want the newer printer to be on all the time. Can anyone help me with how to set it up to be off but to come on when I want to print something. Hope I made sense. Thanks, y'all.

Hi BDH2022! Thanks for posting in the Canon Community Forum. I see that you would like your PIXMA MG3620 to turn on when it receives a print or scan command from your computer.

The MG3620 does have an Auto Power On function. You can enable that option by following these steps:

Make sure the printer is turned on and that the Power light and Orange Alarm light (lamps) are not blinking.
HOLD down the Red Stop button and keep it held down until the Orange Alarm Lamp flashes 14 times. Let go immediately after the 14^thflash.
Press and release the Color START button (with the green diamond symbol).

Important: When you start holding down the Stop button in step 2, you will need to start looking at the orange Alarm lamp (with the triangle symbol). It’s important to let go of the button at the appropriate time (14 flashes).

If you decide you would rather have the printer stay on (by disabling the Auto Power Off option) or if you want to disable the Auto Power On option in the future, please bookmark the following article:

Or the following section of the manual:

If you need help finding the Stop and Start buttons, please visit the following section of the manual:

I hope this information helps. Thanks for choosing Canon.

Hello, sorry it took me so long to check back here. After I had posted my question, I had fiddled around on this printer and I got it set up the way I like. Not even sure what I did. HA but thank you for the response.
