Just bought a PIXMA TR8620 (BLACK). Gonna try another set up with corrections to the flap in front and head line up sheet in back, thanks for the tutorial, solves serious setup issues Canon just doe'snt seem to open up ideas to correct customer service. Oh, America the great..............
I have everything set up except for the code 1240 keeps coming up I already have paper and the printer I had a mx870 which is very similar. It keeps saying that output tray is not out and it is out
Cannon US based phone support is EXCELLENT and is why I kept the 8620. HP only offers email support :( Epson has Phillipine phone support but after 3.5 hours they could not get their app to work with my phone and blame it on my internet :(
17:55 wish you didn’t cut during editing & showed how “printed from phone”.....instead of seeing it print the photo. Did you have errors/issues, need the canon app; or did just click share on photo & then print (selected the canon printer, & it than printed fine from your WiFi network w(o canon app?). Thx 👊🏼
I was able to print from my phone with Apple AirPrint, when the printer and my phone were connected to the same WiFi network. I did not need to use the Canon app. We have not had any issues so far with the printer. Have a nice rest of your day!
Just a Countertenor Thanks So much for replying to comment, much appreciated. Also, thx for the info....on “how” printing worked. Again, appreciate....as will being setting up the canon TS9520 printer (similar to this, just diff model w/ features BUT setup exactly the same). Thx again for the reply, have a good one ✌🏼😁
Yes, the photo paper does need to be fed from the rear feeder. That is definitely a limitation of this printer, as the rear feeder is very small. To print from my computer, after the video, I did download the software from Canon’s website. The software’s setup process took much longer than I had expected. However, it is possible that the basic driver for this printer is already build into Windows, but that is unlikely as Canon usually wants everyone to download all of the Canon bundled software to their computer. If you want a printer with an easier computer setup process, then I would recommend an HP, as when connecting to the printer with the HP Smart app, it only takes a few minutes. Have a happy new year!
@@evandrinks Sorry I am just now seeing this. Thank you for responding and I hope you have a happy new year yourself! I recently purchased a Canon TR8620, but have not set it up yet with my Apple. I'm hoping the setup will turn out OK, this video helps! Thanks!
Hi..I purchased this printer TR8622 Walmart. Neither the included manual or online manual mention anything about the device located top left of the printer. What is its purpose? When I slide paper in there the machine beeps...but beyond that can't figure out what to do with it?
I have a question, not a comment. My Daughter in Law gave me a TR8620a but the language is set to Spanish. Do you know how can I reset it to English? Your video on the initial setup is great. Thank you, Rory
I have the the TR8620. What black ink cartridge should I replace in order to keep printing in black? I will not need color when it runs out. Do I need both blacks or one of them? Thanks.
I’m having a hard time understanding how I can get a full copy of a legal size document. I put it into the ADF but the final document did not have all the information on it. Also is the paper trays supposed to be attached to the bottom of this printer or just sits on the table underneath. I think I am missing something here.
Does this Printer need to be connected to the same internet on your phone because, I don’t connect to the same WiFi with my house one l use my carrier one . Also , can it be Bluetooth to your hp laptop I was wonder can it . Do you have to use the cd my laptop doesn’t come with a cd slot .

I just got my tr8620 and I am trying to connect it wirelessly. I am unable to enter the password for my modem because the symbol keys on the printer screen keypad are blank. Is there a fix for that?
At the moment, Canon does not list any drivers on their website for new Apple MacBooks. Their website states that you may not need a driver, or that it may already be built in. I would say that it is unlikely that it would work. I would suggest trying to install the HP Smart app to see if that will work on your computer. If it does, then nearly every new HP printer model should work with your computer. Have a great rest of your day!
Thanks for posting this video. I was able to follow and set up my printer. Do you have detailed instructions on how to use the scanner? I am trying to attach the scan to email, but instead of asking me for email address, local USB? It also says "set the PC to start scanning".
Thanks for the very helpful video! 😁 Question . . . Your kitchen floor is beautiful. What kind of floor is it, the manufacturer and the color? Thanks for the info! 😊
It is a wood floor that has a glossy looking finish. We also have the non-glossy looking version in other parts of the house. It was installed in 2007, and somewhat refurbished in 2017 when we had the kitchen remodeled. When remodeling the kitchen they essentially moved the planks around and cut them to size. I am pretty sure that the model is discontinued. I am also unsure of the manufacturer and color. I will say that we have had a lot of people over who do like the floor for some reason. I hope this was helpful, and have a great day!
What is frustrating is that this printer goes to sleep so before printing I have to enable Wi-Fi EVERY time by I often have to do on my 6 year old Hp Envy. I guess this is common with most printers :/
It will turn the screen off automatically a few minuets after use. If you need to print, you do not need to tap the screen. However, after many hours of not using it, it will power off. Then you would need to turn it back on with the power button. If you want one that does not turn off automatically, then you might want to go for an HP or Epson printer, as most of those do not turn off automatically. Have a nice rest of your day!
You could contact Canon, if your printer needs servicing. They may direct you to a nearby service center, or you may need to Mail your printer in. Certain Canon CarePAK service plans and warranties also may include next day servicing on location.
0:52 $150!? I paid $100 for the same printer last year at Staples. I shopped online there and used Honey to save an additional $10, which really costed us $95 all together with taxes. I believe the printer market is high due to Covid-19. The price for the printer may also be high because of the reliability. I had no issues using this printer to print, scan, copy, and fax. The touch screen makes it user friendly for everyone to use. I am a technical geek that troubleshoots printers and computers, and I can confirm that nobody asked me to help look into the problems because the screen shows how to solve them on your own.
That is a great point. Recently printers have been hard to find, and even harder to find on sale. To find this printer I had to go to 6 different stores before I found it in stock at Target. Now the printers are finally going on some sales again, but usually not more than $30 off. Have a great rest of your weekend!
This may seem picky, but were you able to clean that nice table ( you have a nice house). Also, when your brother photo-bombed your video you showed a lot of patience...I think your family is a lot more psychologically sound than mine and I wish I was in your family. I was going to buy this printer for $129 @ Staples but it was out of stock. (Some places have it for $179 now but that is a little too expensive) I was hoping some printers would be on sale for Black Friday. I like Canon and will keep my eyes open for the replacement model to the TR 8520 or the TS 8320. Thanks for the excellent and informative video.
I HATE this printer - it's ridiculous to have a front AND back paper load - so when you want to use legal size paper you have to pull it away from the wall, which almost always causes the catty-cornered plug to detach. Then, when I pulled up the back panel it came OUT of the slider slots - and I can't get it back in to save my life!!! For this reason - I now get an error code that the back panel is open - and it won't print in front!! I've called Canon support - was on hold the last 20 minutes - & gave up.
I am far from impressed with my Canon. Unable to contact customer service The instructions leave guessing. Add the loading tray on the TR8620 is filmsy, of poor quality. It appears to be an decent office computer for small biz
Thank you. My printer sat for 2 years because I couldn't connect it. But now I have success!
Very professional despite the distractions. Great job
*Great **Bestt.Digital** printer, easy to setup and use. Looking forward to seeing how long the ink lasts.*
I love your reviews. Cracked me up when your dad came into the kitchen and shuffled around. Too funny.
You have no idea how much this video helped me! Thank you so much
thanks...i own this tr8620 and had no idea i could use the front tray/cassette to load paper...i've been using the back load........ nice upload.
I've had my TR8520 for about 5 years. I love it! I wish I had this video 5 years ago.. I'll never get another HP. Printer...Canon from now on!
Can someone show how to fax from this machine
Thank You so much. I’m a disabled Nurse. I appreciate this so much.
Great job helping us connect this printer!! Great job!
Thank you! I got my first printer and finally, i could set up my printer. Your video help me alot! 😂👍
Great review thanks for the help really helped me with my Canon Printer keep up the great content! ✌️👍

Oh, America the great..............
I cannot figure out where the scanned image goes.I used to have image garden which was great
Great video! Very thorough!
I don’t understand what to do with that cover piece where the paper goes
i dont know much about printers but just to print but yes am up and running …. very helpful
I have everything set up except for the code 1240 keeps coming up I already have paper and the printer I had a mx870 which is very similar. It keeps saying that output tray is not out and it is out
make sure the cartridge are installed properly
Thanks for the video. What is the largest size photo you can print with this printer?
The largest size would be a letter size print.
@@evandrinks Thank you
Can the 8620 print onto cds or dvds?
I was hoping to see how to connect wirelessly to PC, iPad, and iPhone. Unboxing and printing something is the easy, no-brained part.
Printing I'm trying to print a pic from google but I'm struggling
Cannon US based phone support is EXCELLENT and is why I kept the 8620. HP only offers email support :( Epson has Phillipine phone support but after 3.5 hours they could not get their app to work with my phone and blame it on my internet :(
I just bought a TR8620; I hope their phone help is better than their online help which SUCKS big time.
i was hoping for a picture print.
Is there a way to adjust the time out setting so it doesnt turn off so much

How to remove the cassette?
Does photo paper have to be loaded from the rear paper feeder instead of the front tray? I noticed there was no downloading of software to a computer.

@@69FOSTER I just bought the 8620 model a few days ago. I haven't set it up yet. I was searching youtube for help lol. Have you set yours up yet?
Will this printer be able to take cardstock? I'm using 100lb cardstock for cards this year.
Yes, it can. The rear feeder is great for thicker paper, and it works great for cardstock and photo paper.
Hi..I purchased this printer TR8622 Walmart. Neither the included manual or online manual mention anything about the device located top left of the printer. What is its purpose? When I slide paper in there the machine beeps...but beyond that can't figure out what to do with it?
Never mind..discovered it is the auto document feeder. Strange not mentioned in manuals. (or I missed that too!)

What kind of ink should i buy?
Does it flip you paper and print on the back.
Thanks for this video. Helpful. Did that dude really have to get milk while you were shooting this? LOL.

I just bought the canon pixma tr8620 for over $200 from bestbuy. Do they need to be plugged into the wall or is it through bluetooth

Yes, you can
Can u tell me if this printer will work with a new macbook pro that has the m1 chip. Neither of my older printers will work with it. Thanks

Can you make a copy and have it save to usb?
Sadly with this printer you can’t. It does not have a USB port on it.
Have a nice rest of your day!
How long does the ink last?
Excellent
Thanks for the very helpful video! 😁
Question . . . Your kitchen floor is beautiful. What kind of floor is it, the manufacturer and the color? Thanks for the info! 😊
It is a wood floor that has a glossy looking finish. We also have the non-glossy looking version in other parts of the house. It was installed in 2007, and somewhat refurbished in 2017 when we had the kitchen remodeled. When remodeling the kitchen they essentially moved the planks around and cut them to size.

Is it Wi-Fi?
i got the 8620, haven't set it up yet but, it looks quite nice in the vid!
Thanks for the informative video. Does this printer scan, copy and print two sides automatically?
Great job! Was wondering about two sided printing as well. Does this printer have that capability??🤔🤔
Great video
What is frustrating is that this printer goes to sleep so before printing I have to enable Wi-Fi EVERY time by I often have to do on my 6 year old Hp Envy. I guess this is common with most printers :/
Question: Does your printer go into sleep mode and you need to press the screen to wake it up before printing?
It will turn the screen off automatically a few minuets after use. If you need to print, you do not need to tap the screen. However, after many hours of not using it, it will power off. Then you would need to turn it back on with the power button. If you want one that does not turn off automatically, then you might want to go for an HP or Epson printer, as most of those do not turn off automatically. Have a nice rest of your day!
Good video but to me buying ink cartridges is a lot money. Make sure you print often so heads don’t dry out.
Thanks for the info 🤩
What is really frustrating is that even the next day I still have to power cycle the router almost everytime
Thanks so much
will it print 8 x 10 borderless photos
Yes, it can
How can we fix service sir?
You could contact Canon, if your printer needs servicing. They may direct you to a nearby service center, or you may need to Mail your printer in. Certain Canon CarePAK service plans and warranties also may include next day servicing on location.
Actually?
The document feeder only safely handles 7 pages in my experience.
I just got this same printer .
0:52 $150!? I paid $100 for the same printer last year at Staples. I shopped online there and used Honey to save an additional $10, which really costed us $95 all together with taxes.

Hi do you set up wifi from the touch screen?
Is this a borderless printer 🖨
Yes, it can print borderless.
how do you shut it off ???????
If you push the power button on the left side of the front panel.

The instructions leave guessing.
Add the loading tray on the TR8620 is filmsy, of poor quality.
It appears to be an decent office computer for small biz
Welp. Now it's $199
That dude in the back is nosey as heck haha
