Congratulations on your new MX860. This Getting Started guide will
help you through a fast, simple setup.
There will be decision points in fax and network setup where you will
make choices. Following the steps will make these choices easy.
Before Starting
If you do not have a wireless network, skip this step.
If you are installing your MX860 to a wireless network, locate your
network name (also called SSID or Service Set Identier) and network
password (if applicable).
You can locate the wireless network name by clicking the
menu bar.

You can also retrieve your network name and password by using the
Canon PIXMA Wireless Setup Assistant, or by following the
procedures available for download from the Canon support webpage
(www.usa.canon.com/downloadlibrary).
If you are unable to retrieve the network password or other settings,
refer to the manual of your access point or router, or contact the
