Instructions for Use (Printer Driver) 
This printer driver is subject to the following restrictions. Keep the following points in mind when using
the printer driver. 
Restrictions on the Printer Driver 
With some applications, the Copies setting in the Page Setup tab of the printer driver may not be
enabled. 
In this case, use the copies setting in the Print dialog box of the application software. 
If the selected Language in the About dialog box does not match the operating system interface
language, the driver screen may not be displayed properly. 
Do not change the Advanced tab items of the printer properties. If you change any of the items, you
will not be able to use the following functions correctly. 
Also, if Print to file is selected in the Print dialog box of the application software and with applications
that prohibit EMF spooling, such as Adobe Photoshop LE and MS Photo Editor, the following
functions will not operate. 
Preview before printing on the Main tab 
Prevent loss of print data in the Print Options dialog box 
Page Layout Printing, Poster Printing, Booklet Printing, Duplex Printing, Specify Margin..., Print from
Last Page, Collate, and Stamp/Background... on the Page Setup tab 
Since the resolution in the preview display differs from the printing resolution, text and lines in the
preview display may appear different from the actual print result. 
With some applications, the printing is divided into multiple print jobs. 
To cancel printing, delete all divided print jobs. 
If image data is not printed correctly, display the Print Options dialog box from the Page Setup tab
and change the setting of Disable ICM required from the application software. This may solve the
problem. 
Software windows may not appear correctly on Windows Vista when fonts are set to Larger scale. If
you want to display the windows with Larger scale fonts, set the desktop theme to Windows Classic
as follows: 
1.Select Control Panel from the Start menu. 
2.Select Appearance and Personalization -> Personalization -> Theme. 
The Theme Settings dialog box opens. 
3.At the Theme Settings dialog box, click the Themes tab, and select Windows Classic from
Theme. 
4.Click OK. 
Desktop changes to Windows Classic display. 
Points to Note with Applications 
There are following restrictions in Microsoft Word (Microsoft Corporation). 
If Microsoft Word has the same printing functions as the printer driver, use Word to specify them. 
When selecting Scaled Printing, Fit-to-Page Printing, or Page Layout Printing from the Page Layout
list on the Page Setup tab, the selected printing function may not be effective, depending on the
version of Word. 
If this happens, follow the procedure below. 
1.
Open Words Print dialog box. 
2.
Open the printer driver setup window, specify Page Layout on the Page Setup tab, and click
OK. 
3.Without starting printing, close the Print dialog box. 
4.
Open Words Print dialog box again. 
5.
Open the printer driver setup window again and click OK. 
6.
Start printing.

							Advanced Guide > Appendix > Printing Area
Printing Area
To ensure the best print quality, the printer allows a margin along each edge of media. The actual
printable area will be the area inside these margins.
Recommended printing area 
: Canon recommends that you print within this area.
Printable area 
: The area where it is possible to print.
However, printing in this area can affect the print quality or the paper feed precision.
note
Borderless Printing
By selecting Borderless Printing option, you can make prints with no margins.
When performing Borderless Printing, slight cropping may occur at the edges since the printed
image is enlarged to fill the whole page.
For Borderless Printing, use the following paper.
Glossy Photo Paper Everyday Use GP-501
Photo Paper Glossy GP-502
Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss SG-201
Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201
Photo Paper Pro II PR-201
Matte Photo Paper MP-101
Performing Borderless Printing on any other type of paper may substantially reduce printing
quality and/or result in printouts with altered color hues.
Borderless Printing on plain paper may result in printouts with reduced quality. Use them only
for test printing.
Depending on the type of paper, Borderless Printing may reduce the print quality at the top and
bottom edges of the paper or cause these parts to become smudged.
