The machine cannot be connected to a computer via a wireless LAN, a wired LAN and a USB cable at the same time. 
All three connection types cannot be used at the same time. The following can be used at the same time: a USB cable and a wired LAN, or a USB cable and a wireless LAN.
Remote UI is not displayed.
Are <Use HTTP> and <Use Remote UI> set to <On>?
If the machine is connected to a wired LAN, check that the cable is connected firmly and the IP address is set correctly, and then start the Remote UI again.
For how to check, see "Getting Started" Manuals Included with the Machine or Viewing Network Settings.
If the machine is connected to a wireless LAN, check that the settings are specified correctly, and then start the Remote UI again.

A connection to a network cannot be established.
The IP address may not be set correctly. Set the IP address again.
When you connect the machine to a computer via wireless LAN, check whether the machine is properly installed and ready to connect to the network.
You are unsure of the set IP address.
The connection method cannot be switched between a wired LAN and a wireless LAN.
Did you select a wired LAN or a wireless LAN on the operation panel on the machine as well? This selection is required to have the machine switch to your selection.
You are unsure of the SSID or the network key of the wireless router to be connected. The SSID is not displayed on the screen.
Check whether the SSID can be found on the wireless router or package box.
Check the SSID or the network key of the wireless router by using Canon MF/LBP Wireless Setup Assistant.
The SSID of the wireless router to be connected is not displayed in the access point list.

Check whether the machine is properly installed and ready to connect to the network.
The machine dials up to an unintended connection destination (if a dialup router is connected to a network).
If a dialup router does not need to pass broadcast packets, set the dialup router so that the broadcast packets will not pass. If the dialup router needs to pass broadcast packets, check whether the settings are correct.
If a DNS server is located in an external network, set the IP address to be connected, not the host name, even if connecting to the devices that are on the network that is connected to the machine.
If a DNS server is located on a network that is connected to the machine and the information about the devices that are connected to an external network is registered to the DNS server, check whether the settings are correct.
