UFR II LT User Software disc
The printer driver is installed from the UFR II LT User Software disc.
■Disc Contents:
■UFR II LT Printer Driver
Using the UFR II LT printer driver, the various data processing tasks conventionally 
executed within the printer are appropriately divided between the host PC and the printer 
to greatly reduce the overall printing time. The workload can be delegated to match the 
output data, thus realizing a significant increase in speed through optimization.
Installation
For details about the installation procedure, see the Printer Driver Installation 
Guide.

NOTE
View the Printer Driver Installation Guide before you start the installation. You cannot view 
the Printer Driver Installation Guide while the installation is in progress.

Setting Up the Printer Configuration
To correctly use the functions of this product, you must set the printer options using 
the printer driver.
Printer options are set from the [Device Settings] sheet of the printer driver.
The [Device Settings] sheet is displayed by right-clicking the icon of the printer you 
are using in the [Printers] or [Printers and Faxes] folder, and selecting [Properties], 
and then the [Device Settings] tab.
See the Printer Driver Installation Guide or the online help for details about the 
setup procedure.
On the [Device Settings] sheet, click [Get Device Status] to obtain information 
about options installed and set in the device.
If you cannot obtain the device status, set up the configuration you want to use 
manually by clicking the appropriate check boxes or selecting the appropriate items 
from lists.
If you share the printer with other network users, and have installed “Canon Driver 
Information Assist Service” in the print server, you can use the [Get Device Status] 
function. For details about the “Canon Driver Information Assist Service” installation 
procedure, see the Printer Driver Installation Guide.

Before Using the Remote Scan Function
In order to use this product as a network scanner, you must install the scanner 
driver.
Installing the Scanner Driver
The scanner driver is a driver for using digital multi-purpose printers on a network 
as scanners. Settings relating to scanning are made using the scanner driver.
The scanner driver is installed from the same UFR II LT User Software disc as the 
printer driver. The contents of the disc are as follows.
■Color Network ScanGear
The Color Network ScanGear driver is called from TWAIN-compliant applications. 
Originals are scanned using the driver.
Examples of applications that support TWAIN are as follows:
•Adobe Photoshop
•Adobe Acrobat
•Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint etc. in Office 2000 or later

System Requirements
The following system environments are necessary in order to use the scanner 
driver.
■Software:
•Operating Systems:
- Microsoft Windows 2000
- Microsoft Windows XP (32bit)
- Microsoft Windows Vista (32bit)
- Windows 7 (32bit)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (32bit)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32bit)
•Application Software:
- TWAIN-compliant applications (Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word/
Excel/PowerPoint etc. in Office 2000 or later)
■Hardware:
•Computer
- Any computer that can run the supported operating systems
•Hard disk space
- When installing: 100MB or more (recommended)
- When scanning: two or more times the amount of image data being scanned
•Main memory
- The amount of memory required to run the above systems correctly
•A display with a resolution of at least 640 x 480 (800 x 600 or more recommended) and 
capable of displaying at least 256 colors.
•A network host adapter capable of TCP/IP and UDP/IP communication over Ethernet or 
Token Ring.
NOTE
When scanning a large number of images or images containing large amounts of image 
data, an insufficient memory error or notable loss of scanning speed may occur. If this 
happens, the following procedures should prove useful:
- Increase the amount of hard disk space by deleting or otherwise appropriately 
processing unnecessary files on the hard disk etc. to ensure sufficient hard disk space.
- Rescan with reduced resolution.
- Increase the amount of RAM.
- Increase the amount of virtual memory to the highest possible.

Installation
From the menu screen of the disc, you can begin installing the scanner driver, or 
display the Network ScanGear Installation Guide. For details about the installation 
procedure, see the Network ScanGear Installation Guide.
NOTE
View the Network ScanGear Installation Guide before you start the installation. You cannot

Required Settings for Remote Scanning
Once you have installed the scanner driver, you need to select Color Network 
ScanGear as a scanner to be used in order to perform remote scanning.
■Selecting the Network Scanner You Want to Use
In order to scan using Color Network ScanGear, select the device on the network that you 
want to use as a scanner using the ScanGear Tool. Because a scanner is not selected 
immediately after installation, this operation must be performed before use.
NOTE
•For details about the procedure, see the Network ScanGear Guide.
•The ScanGear Tool is software that is installed together with Color Network ScanGear.
