Troubleshooting
The Trouble Shooter is a utility for solving printing problems in Windows 95/98/Me or NT 
4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003. The Trouble Shooter checks for system configuration setting errors, 
and if possible, makes automatic corrections.
The Trouble Shooter does not detect problems related to hardware, such as printer cable 
problems, parallel port failure, or ECP setting errors.
To start the Trouble Shooter, select the Canon iC D800 Trouble Shooter icon in the Canon 
iC D800 group. The Trouble Shooter checks the following and corrects related problems:
• Free disk space in the drive containing the \Windows directory and free memory
• Installed files
• Selected printer port (checks to see if usable)
• Registries
• RapidPort communication device drivers (Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003)
• Language monitor
• Printer drivers
• Status Window
•Printer Properties settings
•Canon iC D800 program folder
If the Trouble Shooter encounters a problem, it displays an error message. Each message 
includes several options, such as:
• How to correct the problem
• If the problem cannot be corrected by the Trouble Shooter
• Continue troubleshooting
• Exit Trouble Shooter
• Display help information
If Trouble Shooter is used on a network printer client, it performs network-related checks.
The Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Trouble Shooter checks whether Spooler service 
has started and if not, displays a dialog box.

Troubleshooting
When Trouble Shooter is done checking your files, it displays a dialog box similar to the one 
below.
While Trouble Shooter is running, it saves a log file with the name tshooter.tmp in your 
system temp directory, such as \windows	emp or 	emp.
In the Exit dialog box, Trouble Shooter prompts if you want to save the results as a text file. 
Check the Save Result check box and enter the desired filename. The file saves with the 
extension of .LOG.
When you click OK in the above dialog box, the Windows Restart dialog box appears. You 
must restart Windows for corrections made by the Trouble Shooter to take effect.
IMPORTANT
To run Trouble Shooter for the Canon iC D800 on the network, both the server and the 
client must run on the same operating system.
