Setting Paper Dimensions (Custom Size) 
You can specify the height and width of paper if its size cannot be selected in Page Size. Such a paper
size is called a custom size. 
The procedure for specifying a custom size is as follows: 
1.Set the custom size in the application software 
On your applications paper size feature, specify your custom size. 
Important 
If the application software that created the document has a function for specifying the height
and width values, use the application software to set the values. If the application software
does not have such a function or if the document does not print correctly, use the printer driver
to set the values. 
2.Open the printer driver setup window
3.Select the paper size 
Select Custom... for Page Size on the Page Setup tab. 
The Custom Paper Size dialog box opens. 
4.Set the custom size in the application software 
Specify Units, and enter the Width and Height of the paper to be used. Then click OK. 
5.Complete the setup 
Click OK on the Page Setup tab. 
When you execute print, the data is printed with the specified paper size.

							Halftones refer to color shades between the darkest color and the brightest color. 
The printer replaces the color shades with a collection of small dots to express the halftones.
Dither arranges the dots according to fixed rules to express the halftones. Diffusion places the
dots randomly to express the halftones. When you select Auto, the data is printed with the
optimal halftoning method for the selected print quality. 
4.Complete the setup 
Click OK on the Main tab. 
When you execute print, the data is printed with the specified quality level and halftoning method. 
Important 
Certain print quality levels and halftoning methods cannot be selected depending on the settings of
Media Type. 
Note 
When the part of the object is not printed, selecting Diffusion for Halftoning may solve the problem.

Printing a Color Document in Monochrome 
The procedure for printing a color document in monochrome is as follows: 
1.Open the printer driver setup window
2.Set grayscale printing 
Check the Grayscale Printing check box on the Main tab. 
3.Complete the setup 
Click OK. 
When you execute print, the document is converted to grayscale data. It allows you to print the color
document in monochrome. 
Important 
When the Grayscale Printing check box is checked, the printer driver processes image data as
sRGB data. In this case, actual colors printed may differ from those in the original image data. 
When using the grayscale printing function to print Adobe RGB data, convert the data to sRGB data
using an application software. 
Note 
During Grayscale Printing, color inks may be used as well as black ink.

Specifying Color Correction 
You can specify the color correction method suited to the type of document to be printed. 
Normally, the printer driver adjusts the colors by using Canon Digital Photo Color so that data is printed
with color tints that most people prefer. This method is suitable for printing sRGB data. 
If you want to print by using the color space of sRGB or Adobe RGB data effectively, select ICM. If you
want to use an application software to specify an ICC profile, select None. 
The procedure for specifying color correction is as follows: 
1.Open the printer driver setup window
2.Select the manual color adjustment 
On the Main tab, select Manual for Color/Intensity, and click Set.... 
The Manual Color Adjustment dialog box opens. 
3.Select color correction 
Click Matching tab, select Color Correction setting suited to your purpose from the following, and
click OK.

							Driver Matching 
By using Canon Digital Photo Color, you can print sRGB data with color tints that most people prefer.
Driver Matching is the default setting for Color Correction. 
ICM 
You can print by using the color space of sRGB or Adobe RGB data effectively. 
None 
The printer driver does not perform color adjustment. Select this value if you are specifying an
individually created profile or a profile for special Canon paper in an application software to print
data. 
4.Complete the setup 
Click OK on the Main tab. 
When you execute print, the data is printed with the specified color adjustment method. 
Important 
If ICM is disabled in the application software, ICM is unavailable for Color Correction and the printer
may not be able to print the image data properly. 
When the Grayscale Printing check box on the Main tab is checked, Color Correction appears
grayed out and is unavailable.

Optimal Photo Printing of Image Data 
When people print images taken with digital cameras, they sometimes feel that the printed color tones
differ from those of actual image or those displayed on the monitor. 
To get the print results as close as possible to the desired color tones, you must select a printing
method that is best suited to the application software used or to your purpose. 
Color Management 
Devices such as digital cameras, scanners, monitors, and printers handle color differently. Color
management (color matching) is a method that manages device-dependent colors as a common color
space. For Windows, a color management system called ICM is built into the operating system. 
sRGB and Adobe RGB are popularly used as common color spaces. Adobe RGB has a wider color
space than sRGB. 
ICC profiles convert device-dependent colors into a common color space. 
By using an ICC profile and carrying out color management, you can draw out the color space of the
image data within the color reproduction area that the printer can express. 
Selecting a printing method suited to the image data 
The recommended printing method depends on the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image
data or the application software to be used. There are two typical printing methods. Check the color
space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data and the application software to be used, and then select
the printing method suited to your purpose. 
To print using Canon Digital Photo Color 
Target data: sRGB data 
Printing method: Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver
To print using the color space of the data effectively 
Target data: Adobe RGB data or sRGB data 
Application software: An ICC profile can or cannot be specified. 
Printing method: Printing with ICC Profiles
