the following installation procedure.

NOTE

If a message prompting you to restart your computer is displayed when 
using the installer, make sure to restart your computer. If you do not 
restart your computer, existing drivers may not operate correctly.

If you log on Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 as a Power User and run the 
installer, the installation may not be completed correctly. In this 
case, log in as an Administrator, and then retry the installation.

If the following Canon drivers have been installed for Windows 
2000/XP/Server 2003, it is necessary to restart the computer after the 
installation.

PCL5e v4.70 or older printer driver

PCL6 v2.40 or older printer driver

PS v1.00 printer driver

Fax v1.40 or older driver

If you update the Canon PCL5e v4.60 or PCL6 v2.60 printer driver to 
PCL5e v6.21 or PCL6 v4.21, the printer configuration may not be passed 
on correctly.

If you are using the printer auto-creation mechanism in a Citrix 
XenApp (Presentation Server) environment, you may not be able to 
correctly install this driver using the Installer. If so, restart the

folder in Windows Server 2003). If any existing printer icons are no 
longer displayed, re-install the relevant printer drivers in the 
XenApp Server PC using the Add Printer Wizard in the Printers folder. 
Then, before starting the Installer to install this driver, disconnect 
all client printers from all the ICA sessions by using the ICA Client 
Printer Configuration utility. After installing the driver, restart 
the ICA Client Printer Configuration utility and reconnect the 
printers.

When you are using a shared printer in the Print Server of the Windows 
2000 (Point and Print) environment, if you update the Canon PCL5e 
v4.xx/PCL6 v2.xx to PCL5e v6.20/PCL6 v4.20 or later using the 
Installer, the Printer Properties dialog box in the Client PC may not 
open correctly.  
In this case, update the driver using the Add Printer Wizard, or first 
uninstall the existing printer driver then install the new version of

Accessing Help Information

From the Properties dialog box, you can click the Help button to 
display the information about the Canon PCL5c, PCL5e or PCL6 printer 
driver.

Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions

1. If you have problems printing some graphics objects when printing 
with the PCL5e printer driver, you should select the alternate 
Graphics Mode (Vector or Raster) to the one you are using currently in 
the Graphics sheet. The Graphics sheet is displayed by clicking the 
Details button in the Quality sheet.

2. If you have problems printing some graphics objects when printing 
with the PCL6 printer driver, you should use the PCL5e printer driver 
and select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet. The 
Graphics sheet is displayed by clicking the Details button in the 
Quality sheet.

3. Certain TrueType fonts may not be printed correctly. If this occurs, 
you should disable the Use Printer Fonts check box in the Detailed 
Settings for Objective dialog box to ensure that all fonts are 
downloaded with the document, rather than using only those fonts that 
reside in the printer. The Detailed Settings for Objective dialog box 
is displayed by clicking the Details button in the Quality sheet. If 
the problem persists, you should use the PCL5e printer driver and 
select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet, and then enable 
the Print Text as Graphics check box in the Misc. sheet.

4. Rotated text will not be printed correctly with some applications 
when TrueType Mode is set to Download as TrueType or Download as Bit 
Image in the Detailed Settings for Objective dialog box. The Detailed 
Settings for Objective dialog box is displayed by clicking the Details 
button in the Quality sheet. To avoid this problem, you should use the 
PCL5e printer driver and select Raster for Graphics Mode in the 
Graphics sheet, and then enable the Print Text as Graphics check box 
in the Misc. sheet.

5. When Overlay Printing, use the overlay form whose size is the same 
as the paper size of the document you are going to print.

6. In some applications, the printed output may not be correct when 
using the scaling feature. In this case, use the PCL5e printer driver 
and select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet. The 
Graphics sheet is displayed by clicking the Details button in the 
Quality sheet.

7. A document which contains different paper sizes across the pages 
may not be cross-sorted (output copies turned at a 90 degrees for each 
copy) correctly. Because the printer does not support cross-sorting of 
paper sizes other than B5, A4 and Letter, the pages of unsupported 
paper size documents will not be cross-sorted.

8. When creating a custom paper size in the Print Server Properties 
dialog box, specify the margins as 0.63cm/0.25in or more.

9. Print jobs containing fill patterns, especially in Corel Draw, have 
been observed to output slowly when printing with the PCL6 driver or 
PCL5e driver in Vector mode due to the large size of the file. To 
avoid this situation, it is recommended that you use the PCL5e driver 
and select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet. The 
Graphics sheet is displayed by clicking the Details button in the 
Quality sheet.

10. When creating an overlay form file in one machine operating 
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008/7, you cannot specify 
another machine operating Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 
2008/7 in the network as the place to save the new form file.

11. Specify a NetWare Server name or NDS tree name up to 15 characters.

12. When you store a landscape document in the Mail Box of the printer, 
the staple position displayed on the printer control panel differs 
from the setting of the printer driver. Also, if you specify the 
staple position of a landscape document stored in the Mail Box from 
the printer control panel, the actual staple position of the output 
document may not correspond with the orientation specified.

13. If you use a shared printer, in some cases resource information 
that is downloaded using NetSpot Resource Downloader may not be 
obtained from the client PC by clicking the Get Resource Information 
button in the Device Settings sheet. Note that NetSpot Resource 
Downloader does not support Windows Vista/Server 2008/7.

14. When using NetSpot Resource Downloader to download form files 
(*.p5e, *.p5c) created in the Overlay sheet to the device, you must 
specify a title for the form file. If a title is not specified, form 
files downloaded using NetSpot Resource Downloader cannot be used for 
overlay printing. Note that NetSpot Resource Downloader does not 
support Windows Vista/Server 2008/7.

15. When a document is output at a resolution of 1200 dpi set from an 
application, jaggies in images may be more noticeable than when the 
document is printed at 600 dpi.

16. For Windows XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008/7, it is necessary to 
use TCP/IP as a network protocol in order to set up the printer 
configuration automatically when using a Remote Desktop environment, 
or when Windows is shared by multiple users.

17. When inserting inserted sheets into the document, if you 
accidentally specify a drawer that contains tab paper as the paper 
source for the inserted sheets, the paper source automatically returns 
to the plain paper setting.

18. If you select Rotate Print Data 180 Degrees in the Finishing 
Details dialog box when any Finishing option is selected, the document 
may output in an unexpected style.

19. When you use Adobe Illustrator 8.0 or later and do not select the 
Bitmap Printing option, it may take a long time to finish printing, or 
thin lines or characters may be blurred. If you experience such 
problem, select the Bitmap Printing option.

20. When you share the printer on the print server and specify a 
shared printer name in 13 or more characters, neither automatic 
printer configuration nor the Department ID Management feature are 
available on the client PCs.

21. Under the following environments, NWADMIN may not be able to add 
resources to NDPS Broker correctly if you are using Windows 
2000/XP/Server 2003 driver.

Novell Netware Client for Windows 9x version 3.32 SP1

Novell Netware Client for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 version 4.83 SP1

If you experience difficulty, contact your Canon authorized dealer or 
Canon authorized service provider.

22. For FAX-L2000 when printing several copies of a document 
consisting of mixed paper sizes with the collate option, do either one 
of the followings:

Use the collate option provided by the application.

Select Enabled for Spooling at Host in the Device Settings sheet 
before printing.

23. If it takes long time to print a document from CorelDraw, the 
following settings may shorten the printing time.

(1) From the Tools menu, select Options.

(2) In the Options dialog box, select Global->Printing->Driver 
Compatibility from the tree view in the left side of the dialog box.

(3) In the Driver Compatibility sheet, select Canon PCL printer driver 
from the Printer drop-down list, and then select the following check 
boxes.

Use software clipping for fills

Output bitmaps in 64k chunks

Send beziers and paths to driver

(4) Click the OK button to close the dialog box.

24. For iR105, 105PLUS, 7200, 8070, 8500, 85PLUS, and 9070, when using 
booklet printing with saddle stitch, the printed cover page loaded 
from Document Insertion Unit may be attached upside down. If this 
occurs, put the cover page in the Document Insertion Unit in the 
opposite direction.

25. For Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008/7, when printing 
a document with a banner page attached from the server PC under the 
NetWare environment, two copies of the banner page may be output.

26. For iR2000/1600, 2010/1610, 400, GP300-405, 555-605-605P and LBP-
2000, refer to the following points when making the Mail Box name file.

Any name can be used for a file

Use [BoxName] as the section name

Use the numbers 0 to 255 as the key names

The key and box name together cannot exceed 24 characters

Include [Key=1] as one of the keys

NOTE

It is unnecessary to include keys for a box number whose name is not 
specified.

Also, if the keys without box name are included in the file, they will 
be ignored.

Sample File

-----------------------------

[BoxName]

Key=1

0=

1=Joe Smith

2=Bob Jones

3=Sally Hill

50=

48=

58=

55=Robert Brown

71=Peter Wilson

99=Lucie Jones

-----------------------------



27. Black-and-white pages may be counted as color pages, depending on 
data, application, or driver settings when you select Auto [Color/B&W] 
or Color for Color Mode in the Quality sheet. If you want to print a 
document as a black-and-white job, select Black and White for Color 
Mode.

28. In certain applications, thickness of a line can be set to a value 
smaller than 1pt but the actual thickness in the printout may be 
equivalent to that of an 1pt line.

29. If you select Transparency or Label for Paper Type in the Paper 
Source sheet, a message indicating that you cannot print the document 
unless you change the Paper Type may appear. If this message appears, 
you may be able to print a document by deselecting the Offset check 
box in the Finishing sheet.

30. For LBP5960, when using a custom paper size for printing, the 
print data may not be output correctly if the length of the custom 
paper size is greater than 1168.6 mm.

31. There may be cases where the Custom Paper Type information 
registered in the printer is not acquired correctly when installing 
the printer driver. If so, reacquire the correct information by 
clicking on the Get Device Status button in the Device Settings sheet, 
or the Get Paper Details button in the Paper Type Settings dialog box, 
displayed by clicking the Settings button in the Paper Source sheet.

32. When an "@" character is used in the name of the printer, the 
printer will become unrecognizable by the operating system because of 
an invalid printer name thus disabling printing, operation and setup.

33. If you print a document that has an odd number of pages as a two-
sided document from an application, the application may automatically 
insert a blank page to bring the number of pages up to an even number. 
When this happens, the blank page inserted by the application is 
counted up in the same way as a printed page.

34. To register the custom paper size you want to use, access the 
Document Properties dialog box from the Printers folder with 
Administrator privileges, and then specify the paper size in the 
Custom Paper Size Settings dialog box which is displayed by clicking 
the Custom Paper Size button in the Page Setup sheet.

35. When you log on to an Administrator account that is different from 
the one used to install the software, you will not be able to access 
the driver properties with Administrator privileges. To access the 
driver properties, select [Run as Administrator].

36. If you are using a USB connection with the printer to print, and 
cancel a print job that is currently printing from your computer using 
the print spooler, the printer may not return to a ready state. In 
this state, you can print via USB, but not via a network. In order to 
be able to print from a network, cancel the print job from the control 
panel of the printer prior to printing.

37. For Windows Server 2008 installed with Server Core option, the 
following limitations exist on using the printer driver.

You cannot install the driver with the installer. Use the installation 
options of Windows.

Some print options are not available under local environment or 
Windows Remote Desktop environment.

38. If the driver version of the client computer is older than that of 
the print server, the driver settings of the server may not be applied 
to the client.

39. If you are using a printer (AutoCreatedPrinter) created with the 
"Auto Created Client Printer" function of Citrix XenDesktop, you may 
not be able to use the Department ID Management function or the Get 
Device Status function.  
If this is the case, use the Citrix XenDesktop Universal Printer 
Driver (UPD), or select a Standard TCP/IP Port for which the IP 
address of a printer you are actually outputting to has been set. 
If you are using the Universal Printer Driver, you may not be able to 
use some printer functions correctly, depending on the environment you 
are using. For a detailed solution, see the next item.

40. If you are using the Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) or Citrix 
XenDesktop Universal Printer Driver (UPD), you may not be able to use 
the Department ID Management function, Get Device Status function, 
and/or Edit + Preview function, and print settings such as page layout, 
booklet printing, etc. may be invalid. If this is the case, with 
Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) or Citrix XenDesktop in a 
disconnected state, deselect [Enable advanced printing features] in 
the [Advanced] sheet of the printer properties dialog box of the 
client printer, then connect Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) or 
Citrix XenDesktop.

*** Depending on the environment you are using, you may not be able to 
perform the above operations in the way described. If this is the case, 
refer to the Citrix website.

41. The default setting for [Print Style] for some printers that 
support two-sided printing is [2-sided Printing].
