It is necessary to install this printer driver under Windows CE to
enable output via the printer. To install this printer driver, files
may be downloaded directly to the handheld PC from a Canon web site
or the web site of the handheld PC's manufacturer. Alternatively,
files may be copied to the handheld PC from a host computer via a
serial cable.
Install this printer driver according to the following procedure,
which is an example of installation by copying files from a host
computer. Refer to the Windows CE Handheld PC User's Guide for details
of the handheld PC.
Note: If you have previously been using your BJ printer with a different
version of the printer driver, you must remove that old version
before installing this new one. To do this, follow the removal
instructions in the Readme.txt file provided with the old driver.
If the old version of the driver is preinstalled in ROM, you
cannot remove it. In this case, you can proceed directly to
installation without removing the preinstalled driver.
Before installing the printer driver, make sure no USB cable is
connected to the USB port of the handheld PC.

4. Points To Remember when Printing
The following limitations apply when printing with this product. Keep
these points in mind before printing anything.
* If you select BJ printer or BJ printer HQ in the Print dialog box,
the printer driver will not print correctly if a Photo BJ Cartridge
is used.
* If you select BJ printer or BJ printer HQ in the Print dialog box,
be sure to print on plain paper. If you use anything other than plain
paper, the print quality may be poor.
* If you select BJ Printer Photo in the Print dialog box, a Photo BJ
Cartridge must be installed in the printer. If you don't use a Photo
BJ Cartridge, printing will not be done correctly.
* If you select BJ Printer Photo in the Print dialog box, use HR-101S
High Resolution Paper. If you use a different paper,
the print quality may be poor.
* It may not be possible to cancel a print job by tapping the Cancel
button on the handheld PC's display if paper runs out during
printing. Load paper in the printer, and cancel the printer error
by pressing the reset button on the printer.
* If the ink cartridge is changed during printing, the printer may
continue without actually printing anything. If this happens, turn
the printer off and then back on, and print again.
* When handwritten input data is printed as it is, dots may sometimes
be missed. If this happens, check the following:
- Make sure a monochrome cartridge is installed in the printer if you
have chosen monochrome printing.
- Make sure a color cartridge is installed in the printer if you have
chosen color printing.
* Characters may sometimes be partially printed if the monochrome
printing is selected when printing with a color cartridge. If this
happens, check the following:
- Make sure a monochrome cartridge is installed in the printer if you
have chosen monochrome printing.
* With certain applications, if draft printing has been checked and the
character size and formatting are changed by the application, the
resulting printout will be different from what you would normally get.
