Unboxing and Initial Inspection
Start by carefully unboxing your Canon Imageclass Lbp236dw. Check for all included components: the printer, power cord, toner cartridge, setup CD (if included), and user manual. Inspect each item for any visible damage.
Installing the Toner Cartridge
Open the front cover of the printer to access the toner compartment. Gently shake the toner cartridge to distribute the toner evenly. Insert the cartridge into the designated slot until it clicks into place. Close the cover securely.
Connecting Power and Turning On
Connect the power cord to the back of the printer and plug it into an electrical outlet. Press the power button to turn on the device. Wait for the printer to initialize, which may take a minute.
Loading Paper
Pull out the paper tray and adjust the paper guides to fit your paper size. Load the paper stack into the tray, ensuring it is aligned properly. Insert the tray back into the printer.

Once the drivers are installed, go to your computer’s printer settings. Select the Canon Imageclass Lbp236dw and print a test page to verify proper setup. If the test page prints successfully, your printer is ready to use.
