environments: 

     - Software: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
                 Microsoft Windows XP Professional/Home Edition

Notes: 
o The MF drivers cannot be used with the machine of any operating

o Some USB hubs may experience problems with MF drivers. If this 
  happens, connect the machine directly to the USB port on your 
  computer, or change the USB port that the machine is connected to.
o Certain personal computers (including laptops) may not restart 
  correctly from standby mode when the printer is attached. If this 
  occurs, please restart your computer.


3. Installing and Uninstalling Drivers

Installing Drivers

When installing the drivers, follow the steps shown in the "MF8180 
Series Setup" screen.

If you want to use the machine USB connection, follow procedures 
below. If you want to use network connection, refer to the Software 
Guide.

Before you install the software, be sure to:

    Setup" screen appears.
    * If the "MF8180 Series Setup" screen is not displayed, on the 
      Windows desktop, click "start" and then "My Computer" 
      (Windows 2000: double-click "My Computer").
      Then open the CD-ROM icon, and double-click "MInst(MInst.exe)."

    automatically detected as a new hardware. Wait for a while as 
    your computer performs various settings.
    * Depending on your computer, a message may display asking you 
      to restart your computer. After restarting your computer, wait 
      for a while for your computer to continue performing various 
      settings.


Uninstalling and Reinstalling the Software

If the drivers are not working properly, remove the drivers and

                       ===== Application Notes =====

1. Printing

 1.1. Print Job Settings

 The MF Drivers provide you to set various printer settings. 
 Refer to the following procedures when performing printer settings.

 To perform printer settings from the Printers window: 
 You can change the printer settings from the Printers window.
 The settings you changed will remain until you change them again.

 1)  On the desktop, click "start," then click "Printers and Faxes" 
     (in Windows 2000, click "Printers" in "Settings").

 2)  Right-click the icon of the printer and select "Printing 
     Preferences" from the pop-up menu.

 3)  Change the printer settings as you like.

 4)  When you are finished, click "OK."

 To perform printer settings from the software application: 
 The settings using the following procedure are valid until the 
 software application is closed.

 1)  In the software application, start the print job. (For example, 
     from the "File" menu select "Print.")

 2)  In the Print dialog box, select the name of the printer to use, 
     then click "Properties."

 3)  Change the printer settings as you like.

 4)  When you are finished, click "OK."

 Displaying the On-line Help

 Refer to the Help file for details on how to perform the settings. 
 When you click the "?" mark in the upper right hand corner of a 
 dialog box, and then click an item, an explanation of that item 
 appears. When you click "Help," information about the printer 
 driver appears.


 1.2. Cautions, Limitations, and Restrictions

 Note the following limitations when using the driver or printing a 
 document.

 o When you print with a watermark, a part of the document where the 
   image and the watermark are overlapped may not be printed 
   clearly. If you set "Print Style" to "Transparent," you should 
   set a dark color for the "Color."

 o If the printing takes long time to process, printing may not be 
   performed normally.
   In that case, set the ERROR TIME OUT settings in the Menu to OFF, 
   and try the print job again.

 o When printing from Microsoft Visio Professional 2003, the printed 
   image will not be reduced to fit the specified paper size even if 
   you set "Page Size" to "A3" and "Output Size" to "A4" in "File" 
   -> "Print" -> "Properties."

   To work around this limitation, perform the following: 

  1)  On the desktop, click "start," then click "Printers and Faxes" 
      (in Windows 2000, click "Printers" in "Settings").

  2)  Right-click the "Canon MF8180" icon and select "Printing 
      Preferences" from the pop-up menu.

  3)  Set "Page Size" to "A3" and "Output Size" to "A4," then click 
      "OK."

  4)  Print the document from Microsoft Visio Professional 2003.


2. Scanning

o Make sure that you have adequate disk space available when 
  scanning large documents at high resolutions. For instance, 
  scanning a full page color document at 600 dpi requires a minimum 
  of 300MB of free disk space.

o Only run one application at a time that is actively linked to 
  ScanGear. Do not open more than one application that is actively 
  linked to ScanGear. Also, do not open ScanGear more than once to 
  acquire an image in the same application.

o When scanning large images at high resolutions, the progress bar 
  may stop at 0% or your computer may stop responding, depending on 
  the size of the file and the limitations of the applications being 
  used. If this happens, cancel the action (for example by clicking 
  the progress bar's cancel button), and then increase the virtual 
  memory available and perform the scan again. Selecting smaller 
  area at lower resolutions may also resolve the problem.
  Also, you can scan the image from the Toolbox and import the 
  resulting file into your application.

o The TWAIN data source may not open correctly from time to time 
  when the system file is in the NTFS format. For security reasons, 
  the TWAIN module cannot be written to the "winnt" directory.
  For details, contact your system administrator.

o Always close the ScanGear main window before you exit the parent 
  application program.

o You may not be able to use the [B&W Start] key or [Color Start] 
  key on the machine after you install the MF drivers.
  In this case, restart your computer.

o When you preview or scan an image with a relatively uniform 
  background, the Auto Tone function may change its coloring.
  If this occurs, reset the Auto Tone.

o Some applications may close ScanGear automatically after scanning.

o Some application programs may hide the TWAIN user interface.
  In this case, refer to the application programmer's manual to find 
  out the required setting changes to show the TWAIN user interface.

o When scanning full page images into a Microsoft Office application 
  (such as Word, PowerPoint or Excel), it is recommended that you 
  use the Custom Insert command in the Insert Picture from Scanner 
  or Camera dialog box. The image may otherwise not be scanned 
  correctly.

o Some applications, such as Microsoft Word 2000, Excel 2000 and 
  PowerPoint 2000, will not allow scanning of multi-page documents. 
  These applications will only accept the first page scanned.
  In this case, please scan each page individually.

o Images imported from Corel WordPerfect 10 may not be imported 
  correctly. If this happens, increase the virtual memory available 
  and scan the image again. This should solve the problem.

o Images will not be properly imported to Lotus Word Pro when 
  WIA Canon MF8180 is selected as the scanner and documents are 
  scanned from the document feeder. Scan documents from the flatbed 
  to solve this problem.

o Some applications supporting for PC Scanning might be unable to scan
  documents continuously by using the ADF. In this case, please scan
  documents by using the Platen Glass.


3. Faxing

o When you click "Cancel" in the "Fax Sending Settings" dialog box 
  in sending a fax from your computer, a message may appear or "Fax 
  Sending Settings" dialog box may appear again depending on 
  applications. Close the message or the dialog box and then perform 
  the operation from the beginning if you want to continue sending 
  the fax.

o If double quotation marks or CSV separators are included in any of
  the items (Such as name and fax numbers) stored in a CSV file,
  the addresses stored in the file may not be imported to the address
  book correctly.
  
o If double quotation marks are included in any of the items (Such as
  names and fax numbers) stored in an ABK file (*.abk), the addresses
  stored in the file may not be imported to the address book correctly.
  
o Do not specify more than 1 for the Copies option in the application
  since the fax may be sent more than once in some applications when
  the Copies option is specified in the application.

 Displaying the On-line Help

 Refer to the Help file for details on how to perform the settings.
 When you click the "?" mark in the upper right hand corner of a 
 dialog box, and then click an item, an explanation of that item 
 appears. When you click "Help," information about the fax driver 
 appears.

points are not clear, refer to the contact list in the operating
