Frequently Asked Questions - PIXMA MX475 CANON

Which ink cartridges are compatible with the Canon PIXMA MX475?
The PIXMA MX475 uses two FINE cartridges: the PG-545 (pigment black) and the CL-546 (tricolor). The XL versions are also compatible: PG-545XL (about 400 pages) and CL-546XL (about 300 pages) for better yield. These cartridges are available from consumable retailers like Spareka or Fixpart.
How to connect the Canon PIXMA MX475 to Wi-Fi?
Press the Wi-Fi button on the control panel until the indicator flashes, then start the setup from the printer menu via Wireless Network then Wi-Fi Setup. Select your box, enter the network password, and validate. The MX475 also supports Access Point Mode (AP Mode) for a direct connection without a router.
How to print from an iPhone or tablet with the PIXMA MX475?
The PIXMA MX475 is AirPrint compatible: make sure the iPhone or iPad is on the same Wi-Fi network as the printer, then choose Print in any app and select the MX475. You can also use the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app for advanced printing options from Android or iOS.
What is the resolution of the Canon PIXMA MX475 scanner?
The MX475 flatbed scanner reaches an optical resolution of 1,200 x 2,400 dpi thanks to its CIS sensor. It's sufficient for scanning documents, photos, and texts with excellent sharpness. For multi-page documents, the automatic document feeder (ADF) allows you to scan multiple sheets in succession.
Does the PIXMA MX475 have an automatic document feeder?
Yes, the MX475 is equipped with an automatic document feeder (ADF) with a capacity of about 30 sheets. It allows you to scan, copy, or fax multiple pages without manual intervention. Note: the ADF only scans the front side; for the back side, you need to turn the sheets manually.
What is the paper tray capacity of the Canon PIXMA MX475?
The paper tray holds up to 100 sheets of plain paper (weight 64-105 g/m²) or 20 sheets of photo paper. Supported formats include A4, A5, B5, Letter, Legal, 10 x 15 cm, 13 x 18 cm, and 20 x 25 cm. Canon photo paper PT-101 (up to 300 g/m²) is also supported.
How to send a fax with the Canon PIXMA MX475?
Place the document in the ADF or on the glass, enter the recipient's number via the numeric keypad, then press Start in fax mode. The MX475 supports ECM mode (error correction), speed dialing, and delayed transmission. The PC Fax feature also allows you to send faxes directly from a computer via Canon software.
The PIXMA MX475 print heads seem clogged: what to do?
Access the Maintenance menu from the control panel or Canon software, then run a print head cleaning. If the problem persists, use the deep cleaning (consumes more ink). Then print a nozzle check pattern to confirm the resolution. Avoid leaving the printer off by the plug, as it does not properly cap its heads.
How to reset the network settings of the Canon PIXMA MX475?
On the control panel, go to Setup then Device Settings, Reset Settings and select Reset Network Settings Only. This erases the saved SSID and Wi-Fi password without affecting other settings. After the reset, restart the Wi-Fi connection procedure.
Does the Canon PIXMA MX475 print double-sided automatically?
No, the MX475 does not have an automatic duplex unit. Double-sided printing is possible in manual mode: the printer prints the odd pages, then prompts the user to turn the sheets to print the even pages. This option is available from the print driver on Windows and macOS.

How to correct color misalignment on a Canon PIXMA MX475 printer?
Frequently Asked Questions - 29/12/2025
Response Notice-Facile

The color misalignment on your Canon PIXMA MX475 is usually caused by a misalignment of the print head, which leads to poor color overlap (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow). Before starting the alignment, check that the ink level in the PG-545 or CL-546 cartridges is not low, as this can affect the result.

Alignment from the machine: This is the simplest and most recommended method to correct color misalignment.

  • Turn on the printer and ensure it is in ready mode.
  • Prepare a sheet of plain white paper in A4 or Letter size.
  • Press the Setup button on the control panel.
  • Use the arrows to select Alignment, then press OK.
  • The printer prints an alignment sheet with test patterns.
  • Important: Place this printed sheet directly on the scanner glass (do not load it in the automatic document feeder).
  • Close the scanner lid.
  • Press the Color or Black button according to your choice.
  • The machine will automatically scan the sheet and adjust the position of the print head in a few seconds.
  • Once the adjustment is complete, remove the sheet and perform a test print to check that the misalignment is corrected.

Alignment from the computer (for fine adjustment): If the result from the machine is not satisfactory, you can perform a more precise manual alignment via the printer driver.

  • Open the Canon printer driver setup window.
  • Click on the Maintenance tab, then on Custom Settings.
  • Check the box Manually align the heads and click OK.
  • Return to the Maintenance tab and click on Print Head Alignment.
  • Load three sheets of plain white paper in A4 or Letter size into the input tray.
  • Click on the Align Print Head button and let the machine print test patterns.
  • You will be prompted to scan or manually enter the adjustment values to correct the color alignment.

If after these steps the misalignment persists, check that the ink cartridges are properly installed and not damaged. Cleaning the print heads (Maintenance menu > Cleaning) may also help if the ink is not flowing correctly from the nozzles. As a last resort, if the problem continues after replacing the cartridges, contact Canon support.

How to find or reset the password for the Canon PIXMA MX475 printer?
Frequently Asked Questions - 28/12/2025
Response Notice-Facile

If you have forgotten the administrator password for your Canon PIXMA MX475 printer, the solution is to reset the printer's network settings. This operation will restore all network settings to their factory default values, which will remove the forgotten password. Note: after this operation, you will need to reconfigure the printer using the installation CD-ROM or according to the instructions available on Canon's website.

Network settings reset procedure:

  • Make sure the printer is turned on.
  • Press the Setup button on the control panel.
  • The Setup Menu screen will appear. Use the arrows to select Reset settings, then press OK.
  • In the menu that appears, select Network settings to reset only the network settings (do not choose 'All data' unless you want to reset all printer settings).
  • Confirm by pressing OK. A confirmation message will appear.
  • Press OK to validate the reset. Do not turn off the printer during the operation.
  • Once the reset is complete, the printer will display a confirmation message. Press OK.

After this operation, the printer will restart and all network settings will be restored to the factory default settings. The administrator password will be removed. If you were using a Wi-Fi connection, it will be interrupted and will need to be reconfigured. You can then use the installation CD-ROM or visit notice-facile.com to reconfigure your printer with a new network access and establish a new administrator password if necessary.

To set a new administrator password after the reset, go to Setup > Device settings > Network settings and look for the Administrator password option. The password must be alphanumeric, not exceed 32 characters, and is case-sensitive (difference between uppercase and lowercase). Be sure to note this password so you do not forget it again.
