     from [Properties].
     If you change any of the settings, some of the functions may
     become disabled and you will not be able to use them.

< Using the Printer Driver >

  - The XPS printer driver does not support the following
    functions, which are supported by the regular MP Drivers:
    - [Instructions] on the [Main] tab
    - [ICM] and [Input Profile] in the [Manual Color Adjustment]
      dialog box

    - [Print Page Information] screen in the Canon IJ Preview

  - To use the preview function with Windows XP, install
    Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 or later.

  - With Windows Vista, the preview function will not operate if
    you install the XPS printer driver by using [Control Panel]-
    [Hardware and Sound]-[Printers]-[Add a printer].
    To use the preview function, first delete the XPS printer driver,
    and then re-install it according to the Installation Method.

  - When the preview function is disabled, the [Preview before
    printing] option on the [Main] tab is grayed out and cannot
    be selected.

  - The [Stamp] function on the [Page Setup] tab may not function
    properly if [Render print jobs on client computers] on the
    [Sharing] tab is not selected for the printer properties.

  - The XPS printer driver supports only Easy-PhotoPrint Pro out of
    all application software distributed with printers. It does not
    support other application software, such as Easy-PhotoPrint EX
    and My Printer.
