    Introduction
    After Installing the Printer
    The following shows the tasks that should be performed after installing the printer:
    ■Installing the printer driver
    The printer driver is software required for printing from an application you use. Specify the 
    print settings in the printer driver. The procedure for installing the printer driver varies 
    depending on the system environment.
    •When printing with the printer and computer connected with the USB cable (See p. 3-4)
    •When printing with the optional network board installed, and the printer and the 
    computer connected by LAN (See Network Guide)
    ■Sharing the printer on a network (See p. 3-63)
    If you share this printer on a network and use it from a computer on the network, you must 
    specify the settings for the computer and install the printer driver on the client computers.
    Tasks to Perform Each Time You Print
    The following shows the tasks that should be performed each time you print:
    ■Specifying printing preferences
    Specify the paper size, document size, and print copies in the printer driver. If you do not 
    specify these printing preferences properly, you may not be able to obtain expected 
    printout results.
    ■Performing printing
    Select the print menu from the application. This procedure varies depending on the 
    application you are using. See the instruction manual supplied with the application.
    System Requirements
    The following system environment is required to use the printer driver:
    ■Operating system software
    •Microsoft Windows 98
    •Microsoft Windows Me
    •Microsoft Windows 2000 Server/Professional
    •Microsoft Windows XP Professional/Home Edition*

    *32-bit processor version only
    -System Requirements (minimum required)
    (PC/AT Compatibles)
    *1 As the amount of available memory varies depending on the system configuration of the computer or 
    application you are using, the above environment does not guarantee printing in all cases.
    *2 This indicates free hard disk space required for installing the printer driver and manuals using Easy 
    Installation. Required free hard disk space varies depending on the system environment or installation 
    method.
    -System Requirements (recommended)

    When connecting with USB
    •Windows 98/Me: USB Full-Speed (USB1.1 equivalent)
    •Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista: USB 2.0 Hi-Speed/USB Full-Speed (USB1.1 
    equivalent)

    •When using Sound, a PC synthesizer (and the driver for PCM synthesizer) must be 
    installed in your computer. Do not use a PC Speaker driver (speaker.drv etc.).
    •This printer uses bi-directional communication. Operation of the printer when connected 
    via unidirectional communication equipment has not been tested, and as a result, Canon 
    cannot guarantee printer operation when the printer is connected using unidirectional 
    print servers, USB hubs or switching devices.
