How to synchronize the time on a Canon printer

For print and capture to work on Canon printers, the printer's date and time must match the GMT time zone. Even a 10-second difference can cause errors.

  1. Open the printer's web page and log in as administrator.
  2. Select Settings/Registration.
  3. In the left-hand menu, under Preferences, select Timer/Energy Settings.
  4. Select Date/Time Settings.
  5. For Time Zone, select the time zone for your area.
  6. Optionally, configure the Daylight Saving Time Settings.
  7. For Date and Time, enter the current time. While the current time is entered, quickly select OK.

    Ensure that the entered minute value is still true when you select OK.

  8. Restart the printer by holding the power button for a few seconds then pressing it again.
