Changing the Printer Operation Mode

If necessary, switch between various modes of printer operation.

The procedure for configuring settings is as follows:

Custom Settings

1.Open the printer driver setup window

2.Make sure that the printer is on, and then click Custom Settings on the Maintenance tab

The Custom Settings dialog box opens.

Note

If the printer is off or bi-directional communication is disabled, a message may appear because the computer cannot collect the printer status.

If this happens, click OK to display the most recent settings specified on your computer.

3.If necessary, complete the following settings:

Prevent paper abrasion

The printer can increase the gap between the print head and the paper during high-density printing to prevent paper abrasion.

Check this check box to use this function.

Align heads manually

The Print Head Alignment function on the Maintenance tab is normally set to automatic head alignment, but you can change it to manual head alignment.

If the printing results of automatic print head alignment are not satisfactory, see " Manual Print Head Alignment," and perform manual head alignment.

Check this check box to perform the manual head alignment.

Ink Drying Wait Time

You can set the length of the printer rest time until printing of the next page begins. Moving the slider to the right increases the pause time and moving the slider to the left decreases the time.

If the paper gets stained because the next page is ejected before the ink on the printed page dries, increase the ink drying wait time.

Reducing the ink drying wait time speeds up printing.

4.Transmit the settings

Click Send, and click OK when the confirmation message appears.

The printer operates with the modified settings hereafter.

Launched as part of Canon's iP series, this printer is designed for those who require high-quality photo printing as well as everyday document printing.

One of the standout features of the Canon iP4700 is its ability to print at an impressive maximum resolution of 9600 x 2400 dpi, which ensures that images come out sharp, vibrant, and detailed. The printer utilizes Canon’s FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology, which features a high-density print head with 512 nozzles for black ink and 1280 nozzles for color inks.
