PIXMA G6020 wifi password entry not showing up

[CMBrink88]

I recently purchased a second hand Megatank Pixma G6020 Multifunction Printer K10496 and tried to connect it to my home Wi-Fi. 

I did a manual search, it found my router, but when I selected OK to enter my password it went straight to trying to connect to it. When it failed, I tried it again and still did not ask for a password. I tried it on another Wi-Fi router that I know requires a password and it did the same thing.
