< Points To Note with Applications >
- Microsoft Word/Microsoft Corporation
If you specify a value greater than one for the [Pages per
sheet] setting in Word's [Print] dialog box, do not use [Page
Layout Printing] setting on the driver's [Page Setup] tab.
If you specify values greater than one for both settings,
printing will not be done correctly. When you want to print more
than one page per sheet, use one setting or the other to specify
it.
- Microsoft Word/Microsoft Corporation
When using the [Scale to paper size] setting in the [Print]
dialog box, do not use [Scaled Printing] setting on the printer
driver's [Page Setup] tab. If used, Word's [Scale to paper size]
setting will be overridden by the printer driver's [Printer
Paper Size] setting on the [Page Setup] tab when scaling to fit.
- Microsoft Word/Microsoft Corporation
When Word's [Allow A4/Letter paper resizing] feature is enabled,
if [Orientation] in Word's [Page Setup] dialog box is set to
[Portrait] and the driver's [Orientation] setting is specified
as [Landscape], printing is not done correctly. To avoid this,
disable [Allow A4/Letter paper resizing] before printing. To
access this feature, open the [Options] dialog box from Word's
[Tools] menu and click the [Print] tab.
- Microsoft Word/Microsoft Corporation
When changing [Paper size] and [Orientation], do it using Word's
settings, not the printer driver's.
- Microsoft Word/Microsoft Corporation
When selecting [Scaled Printing], [Fit-to-Page Printing] or
[Page Layout Printing] in the [Printing Type] on the [Page Setup]
tab, do this:
1. Open Word's [Print] dialog box.
2. Open the printer driver setup window and on the [Page Setup]
tab select [Printing Type] and click [OK].
3. Without starting printing, close the [Print] dialog box.
4. Open Word's [Print] dialog box again.
5. Open the printer driver setup window and click [OK] again.
6. Start printing.
- Microsoft Excel 2002/Microsoft Corporation
If the "Allow A4 and letter paper sizes to be changed" setting
is enabled in Excel 2002 and the "Paper Size" that was set on
the "Page Setup" tab of the Printer Properties screen differs
from the paper size that was set in Excel (one is set to A4 and
the other to Letter), the data is printed according to the
Printer Properties paper size.
If a problem occurs, match the Printer Properties paper size to
the paper size that was set in Excel. Alternatively, select
[Options] from the [Tools] menu of Excel, clear the "Allow A4 and
letter paper sizes to be changed" setting on the "International"
tab, and then print the data.
- Photoshop/Adobe Systems Inc.
Printing may not be done if you don't have system administrator
privileges. Log on with system administrator privileges to print.
- Lotus Notes/Lotus Corporation
The system can lock up with certain print jobs. Make sure that
in Notes' [Page Layout] settings you specify top and bottom
margins of 22.86 mm (0.9 in.) or 27.94 mm (1.1 in.)
- Microsoft Outlook/Microsoft Corporation
If you cancel printing from the application, the next print job
will crash. On the Printer Properties' [Advanced] tab, select
spooling for the print document.
- CorelDraw 8/Corel Corporation
There are instances where problems arise if you try to open the
printer driver setup window from CorelDraw 8.0. For instance, a
crash may occur or characters may be corrupted. To get round
this, open the printer driver setup window from the [Printers]
folder, specify the settings you want, then print from the
application.
This problem does not occur with CorelDraw 9.0.
- Illustrator/Adobe Systems Inc.
If Bitmap Printing takes effect, printing may take time or some
data may not be printed. Print after clearing the [Bitmap
Printing] check box in the [Print] dialog box.
< Using the Printer Driver >
When printing something with this printer driver, restrictions on
what you can do sometimes apply. Keep the following points in mind
when printing:
- With certain applications, the [Copies] setting is non-effective
when setting is attempted from the printer driver. In such
cases, specify the setting in the applications' [Print] dialog
box.
- With certain applications, if you attempt multiple-copy printing
of a document with [Collate] checked on the printer driver's
[Page Setup] tab or in the application's [Print] dialog box,
printing will not be done correctly. To work around this,
uncheck [Collate] before printing.
- With certain applications, printing may not be done properly
if [Print Type] or [Halftoning] is set to [Auto].
In this case, set [Print Quality] on the [Main] tab to [Custom]
and select a setting other than [Auto] for [Halftoning].
Next set [Color/Intensity] to [Manual] and select a setting
other than [Auto] for [Print Type].
- When printing graduated or graphics-intensive print data,
sometimes print data may not be printed. This occurs when there
is not enough free space on your hard disk to temporarily store
the data. To remedy this, make sure there is 40-50 MB of free
space on the drive where Windows XP or Windows 2000 is
installed. Alternatively, set the spool folder on the disk
with sufficient space. To change the location of the spool
folder, follow the steps below.
1. From the [Start] menu, select the following items:
For Windows XP: [Control Panel]-[Printers and Other
Hardware]-[Printers and Faxes]
For Windows 2000: [Settings]-[Printers]
2. Select [Server Properties] from the [File] menu.
3. Click [Advanced] tab, change the drive name of [Spool Folder],
and then click [OK].
- If, during printing, you cancel the print job from the Printer's
folder, there will be a delay before printing actually stops.
- In some cases, printing will fail if there isn't enough virtual
memory available. You can remedy this by increasing the size of
the paging file. To do this, open the [System Properties] dialog
box by double-clicking [System] in the Control Panel or
right-clicking [My Computer] and choosing [Properties]. Then
click the [Advanced] tab, click [Performance Options...], click
[Change...], specify the new paging file size, click [Set], and
click [OK].
- If the selected [Language] in the [About] dialog box does not
match the operating system interface language, the driver screen
may not be displayed properly.
- Do not change the [Print Processor] setting on the [Advanced]
tab in the Printer Properties dialog box. If you change the
setting, the following functions cannot be used:
- [Preview before printing] on the [Main] tab
- [Page Layout Printing] and [Poster Printing] on the [Page
Setup] tab
- All Stamp printing and Background printing functions
- The following functions cannot be used if you uncheck [Enable
advanced printing features] on the [Advanced] tab in the Printer
Properties dialog box:
- [Preview before printing] on the [Main] tab
- [Page Layout Printing], [Poster Printing],
[Print from Last Page], and [Collate] on the [Page Setup] tab
- [Reduce spool data size] in the [Print Options] dialog box
- All Stamp printing and Background printing functions
- The following functions do not work when you are using an
application that does not allow EMF spooling (for example,
Adobe PhotoShop LE and MS Photo Editor):
- [Preview before printing] on the [Main] tab
- [Page Layout Printing], [Poster Printing],
[Print from Last Page], and [Collate] on the [Page Setup] tab
- All Stamp printing and Background printing functions
- The following functions do not work if you check [Print to
file] in your application's [Print] dialog box:
- [Preview before printing] on the [Main] tab
- [Page Layout Printing], [Poster Printing],
[Print from Last Page], and [Collate] on the [Page Setup] tab
- All Stamp printing and Background printing functions
- With some applications, when printing with [Page Layout
Printing] on the [Page Setup] tab set to [2-up Printing] or
greater, certain page images may get cropped. If this happens,
use the application to adjust the layout of the affected pages.
- When carrying out poster printing or stamp/background printing,
the displayed number of pages of the document in the print queue
is greater than that of the actual document.
- The colors in the screen display of the application software may
be different from the colors in the preview display.
- The colors in the preview display may be different from the
colors in the print result.
- Since the resolution in the preview display differs from the
printing resolution, text and lines in the preview display may
appear different from the actual print result.
- In some applications, the printing is divided into multiple
jobs. In this case the preview display can only display the job
being printed, and the display may differ from the display
intended by the user.
- The preview display cannot be used in the following cases:
- During printing when the printer icon is right-clicked and
[Use Printer Offline] is selected
- During printing outside the specified times when [Available
from] is set on the [Advanced] tab in the Printer Properties
dialog box
- For details on functions related to Windows XP or Windows 2000,
see the corresponding user's manual.
====================================================================
About Network Printing
====================================================================
< Preface >
Windows allow two or more users to share a printer via a network.
To share a printer among multiple users, necessary settings must be
made on the computers connected to the network.
The computer to which a printer is connected actually is called a
print server (hereafter called a server). The computer that use the
printer connected to the server via a network is called a client
machine (hereafter called a client).
< Version of the Printer Driver to be Used >
- Get the printer driver that matches the OS used on the server
and clients.
- The combination of the printer driver (made by Microsoft) that
comes with Windows and a Canon's printer driver does not allow
network printing. Use Canon's printer drivers on both servers
and clients.
- Printer drivers used on the server and clients must be of the
same version. When Windows XP is used in combination with
Windows 2000, install this printer driver (Version 1.90)
in both the server and client.
Note:
- This printer does not have the printer driver for
Windows NT4.0, Windows Me and Windows 98.
< Installation and Setup Methods >
1. On the server, install a printer driver suitable for the
operating system used. The installation method is more or less
the same as for an ordinary local printer.
2. Specify the printer connected to the print server as a shared
printer.
For how to do this, see the Windows help.
Point and print installation (method of saving a printer
driver for clients on the print server using the [Additional
Drivers] function on Windows XP or Windows 2000) can be done
here. (When doing this, skip step 3.)
3. On the client, install a printer driver suitable for the
operating system used. The installation method is more or less
the same as for an ordinary local printer.
Note:
- Any port can be selected during installation. After choosing
any port, complete installation.
- When installing the printer driver using the installer, a
message requiring you to turn on the printer appears. Ignore
it.
4. Open the network computer on the client and right-click the icon
of the shared printer you want to use on the server and select
the following menu item:
- [Connect...] for Windows XP or Windows 2000
Thus, a shared printer icon is created on the client.
Since the icon of the printer whose driver has been installed in
step 3 is no longer needed, it can be deleted.
< Restrictions Related to Network >
- When using a network printer, if the client's Canon IJ Status Monitor
is activated, a command is sent to the printer to obtain its status.
If you have checked [Notify when remote documents are printed]
on the [Advanced] tab of the print server's [Server Properties]
dialog box, a print completion notification message is displayed
on the client in response to each command. To stop these
messages appearing, uncheck [Notify when remote documents are
printed] on the [Advanced] tab of the print server's [Server
Properties] dialog box, then restart the print server to make the
setting effective.
- If the printer is being shared through a network, the confirmation
message for ink tank replacement will not be displayed in the
client when printing is started. After replacing the ink tank with
a new ink tank, be sure to reset the ink counter. If the ink
counter is not reset, the low ink warning may not be displayed
properly.
- When point and print installation is done, the bi-directional
support setting on the client is made ineffective.
If the client user, having opened [Properties] of the printer
driver, clicks [OK] without selecting [Enable bi-directional
support], the bi-directional communication function of the server
is also disabled.
To avoid this problem, you can install the printer driver on the
client in advance following the procedure described in
"< Installation and Setup Methods >"
You can also avoid this problem by restricting the access rights
of the client user when making a shared printer security setting.
- When printing via the Internet (IPP environment), check the
version of the printer driver installed in the server and then
install the same printer driver in the client as a local printer.
Note that the client cannot start the status monitor because the
printer status cannot be obtained via the Internet.
- When the same printer driver is installed in both the server and
client as a local printer, the network crawl function can
automatically create a network printer icon on the client side.
____________________________________________________________________
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
