Printing Documents from a Computer

Printing Documents from a Computer

This section is the explanation of the basic procedure for printing from a computer (printer driver). Make sure that the printer driver is installed on your computer. To check if the driver is installed, see “Set Up Computers and Software” in the Starter Guide. For details on the printer driver settings, see Online Help.

–Printing methods may differ depending on the applications you are using. For details, see the instruction manuals provided with the application software.

–If you are using a shared printer in the Print Server (Point and Print) environment, it is necessary to install the Canon Driver Information Assist Service in the server computer in order to set up the printer configuration automatically or to use the Job Accounting feature. For instructions on how to install the Canon Driver Information Assist Service, see “Set Up Computers and Software,” in the Starter Guide.

–The machine may not be able to print data such as color photos if the data size of a single page is too large. If such is the case, reduce the data size by lowering the resolution or by changing the file format.

–The following procedures are explained using sample screens from Windows 2000. The display may differ depending on the operating system, as well as the type and version of the printer drivers.

–Printing speed may be slower when sending an e-mail or scanning documents to a file server in B&W format.
