Hi patelmp3.

 

You should not have to enter a security code to use the Canon Mobile Printing App for the Android OS.  You will just need to let the app search for the printer over the network.  Please see the steps below:

 

 

1.Select or display the image(s)/PDF file/web page you want to print. 

2.In the [Preview] screen of Canon Mobile Printing, tap [Printer].   


3.In the [Detect Printer] screen, select the printer you want to use.
Printers on the same network are automatically detected and displayed.


If the printer you want to use is not displayed, follow the procedure "Manual Search by Specifying IP Address/FQDN" below.


Manual Search by Specifying IP Address/FQDN
1.In the [Detect Printer] screen, tap [Manual Search].



2.Enter the IP address or FQDN of the printer you want to use → tap [OK].

If you specify a FQDN, enter it in the format including host name, sub-domain name, and domain name.

3.In the [Detect Printer] screen, select the manually detected printer ? return to the [Preview] screen.
