About this app

Just set up your canon pixma TR8620a and not sure how to connect it to WiFi, configure the fax line, use the ADF correctly, or understand the 5-ink cartridge system?

This guide covers every feature and the Canon PRINT app clearly so you can get the most out of your all-in-one printer from day one.

WHAT'S INSIDE

First-Time Setup Guide
A step-by-step walkthrough for initial setup unboxing, installing all five individual ink cartridges, loading paper into the front cassette and rear tray, and connecting to your WiFi network. Covers the three ways to connect wirelessly (WPS button method, QR Code Direct Connection via the Canon PRINT app, and manual network entry via the 4.3" touchscreen).

Canon WiFi and Network Guide
How to connect the TR8620a to your home network and keep the connection stable WPS one-button setup, QR Code Direct Connection from the Canon PRINT app, and manual SSID entry via the touchscreen. Covers Wireless Direct mode (connects your phone directly to the printer without a router, useful when traveling or in locations without WiFi), Ethernet wiring for a direct router connection, and how to reconnect after a router password change or router replacement.

5-Ink Cartridge Guide
The TR8620a uses five individual ink tanks PGI-280 PGBK pigment black (for crisp text documents), and CLI-281 BK, C, M, and Y dye-based inks (for photos and color documents). Because they are individual, you only replace the specific color that runs out rather than the entire cartridge set. Covers how to check which cartridge is low via the touchscreen or Canon PRINT app, how to install each cartridge correctly, compatible cartridge numbers, and the XL high-yield versions that reduce per-page cost.

Auto Document Feeder Guide
How to use the 20-sheet ADF for scanning, copying, and faxing multi-page documents without manual page-by-page placement. Covers maximum document size (up to 8.5 x 14" legal via ADF), how to load pages correctly to avoid ADF jams, when to use the ADF vs the flatbed for best results (photos should go on the flatbed ADF is for plain document pages), and how to scan both sides of a document automatically using the ADF.

Fax Setup Guide
How to configure the built-in fax on the TR8620a connecting the phone line cable to the LINE port, setting the fax number, configuring receive mode (automatic vs manual), and setting up the answering machine connection. Also covers how to send a fax from the ADF, how to access the fax log, and the caller rejection and memory transmission features available via the printer menu.

Troubleshooting Guide
Step-by-step fixes for the most common TR8620a issues printer not found on WiFi, Canon PRINT app not detecting the printer, print quality problems (streaking, faded output, color banding), ADF paper jams, ink cartridge not recognized after installation, and how to perform a print head cleaning cycle from the touchscreen or app.
