Technical Notes

Windows Printing System Users

If you have a printer installed on your computer that uses the Windows Printing System, you may experience the following problems:

The first half of page one is printed and then ejected. More pages are printed with one to five lines of garbage characters and then ejected.

Scanning fails.

To stop the continuous print, press FUNCTION and then PRINTER

RESET on the operator panel of the MultiPASS C3000.

To eliminate the problem, you must uninstall the Windows Printing System program and remove the Windows Printing System printer driver.

If you still want to use the Windows Printing System printer, Canon recommends that you install a second parallel port.
