Solution
Using the Cloud functionality of the printer, you can print data that is uploaded to the Cloud services (such as Canon iMAGE GATEWAY and Evernote).
For Cloud printing from a smartphone or tablet device, follow the procedures explained below.
To use the Cloud, the printer needs the following environment.
- The printer must be connected to the Internet.
If the printer is connected to a PC only via a USB cable, the Cloud cannot be used.

The printer connects to a wireless router which is itself connected to the Internet, as shown in the diagram.
If the printer and wireless router are not connected, refer to [ How to connect the printer and router via wireless LAN ] and connect the printer to the wireless router.
