How to Find the Model Number on a Canon Printer

Finding the model number on a Canon printer is usually straightforward, but it depends on whether you have a desktop printer, all-in-one, or larger office printer. You can also visit www.canon.com/ijsetup for guidance on identifying your printer model.

  1. Check the Front of the Printer

  • Most Canon printers have the model number printed clearly on the front. Look near the top or front panel. Common formats include Canon PIXMA TS8320, Canon imageCLASS MF743Cdw, Canon SELPHY CP1300. You can also visit www.canon.com/ijsetup to confirm your printer model for online setup.

  1. Look on the Back or Bottom

  • Turn the printer around or lift it up. There is often a label or sticker that includes the Model number, Serial number, and regulatory information. The model number is usually labeled as “Model No.” or “Model”. Once identified, you can go to ij.start.canon for one-time setup instructions.

  1. Check the Printer’s Display Menu

  • If your printer has a screen, navigate to Settings or Device Information. Look for Printer Information, About, or Device Info. The model number is usually listed there, which you can then use at www.canon.com/ijsetup to download drivers or setup guides.

  1. Check Your Printer Software

On your computer:

  • Windows: Go to Control Panel → Devices and Printers, right-click your Canon printer, select Properties or Printer Preferences, and the model may be displayed.
  • Mac: Go to System Preferences → Printers & Scanners, select your Canon printer, and view Options & Supplies. After confirming the model, you can complete setup through ij.start.canon.

  1. Look at the Printer Box or Manual

  • If you still have the box or user manual, the model number is printed on the packaging or the first page of the manual. You can use this model number at www.canon.com/ijsetup for downloads, setup, and support.
