PIXMA TS6420a What is a LAN?

dee21061 — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 18:15:35 GMT

I've been working for over two hours trying to get my new printer set up and just isn't working. Not sure what a LAN is or how to identify one. Any help is much appreciated. I tried You Tube, but no help for me there.

Thanks in advance

LAN: Local Area Network

What computer and operating system are you using? Is this for a home or office/business?

Thanks for joining the conversation, dee21061! "LAN" stands for "local area network" and in most places, your Wi-Fi network is your LAN. If you have Wi-Fi, this is the point in the setup where you'll get it connected to your printer. If you'd rather have a simpler setup, you can just use an A-to-B USB cable to connect your printer directly to your computer if they're close enough.

Your printer should have come with illustrated setup instructions, and you can also get setup guidance through our web site. Just click HERE to get started.
