use the machine as a scanner via network.
Color Network ScanGear is not supported on all of the 64-
bit operating systems.
Bundled Programs
Send Function Setting Tool (MF5880dn Only) The Send Function Setting Tool is a web browser-
based tool that lets you easily configure the 
settings required for storing scanned documents 
to shared folders on the network, or for sending 
scanned documents via e-mail.
For details on how to start the Send Function Setting Tool, 
see “Use Send Function Setting Tool (MF5880dn Only),” on

 Presto! PageManager
Presto! PageManager makes it easy to scan, 
share and organize photos and documents. For 
details, see the online manual and online help 
for this program.
To install Presto! PageManager, load the User Software CD 
into a computer, click the [Custom Installation] button on 
the CD-ROM Setup screen, click the [Next] button for USB 
connection, then follow the instructions that appear on 
the screen.
 NetSpot Device Installer (NSDI)NetSpot Device Installer enables you to set up 
the machine for network operations. For details,

NetSpot Device Installer (NSDI) is not supported on 
Windows Server 2008 (32bit) and all of the 64bit 
operating systems.
Drivers & Toolbox
 UFRII LT DriverUsing the UFRII LT Driver, the various data 
processing tasks conventionally executed within 
the printer are appropriately divided between 
the host computer 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.
 FAX DriverThe FAX Driver is conceptually akin to a printer 
driver. A user selects [Print] from any Windows 
application software, selects the Canon fax driver 
as the printer, and specifies its destination(s) and 
options. The FAX Driver would then convert this 
into an image that conforms to standard fax 
protocols, to be printed or stored on the 
recipient fax machine(s).
 PCL Printer Driver (MF5880dn Only)The PCL5e, and PCL6 printer drivers can be used 
with most kinds of business application 
software. The PCL5e printer driver is for black-
and-white printers and the PCL6 printer driver is 
for both color and black-and-white printers. 
PCL6 is an advanced version of PCL5e, and offers 
superior printing quality and speed. The PCL5e 
printer driver is provided as standard with black-
and-white printers.
 USB Scanner Driver (ScanGear MF) ScanGear MF enables computer to use the 
machine as a scanner via USB.
ScanGear MF is not supported on Windows Server 2003 
and Windows Server 2008.
 MF Toolbox (Available with USB connection)MF Toolbox is a program that enables you to 
easily import images scanned with a scanner 
into an application, attach them to e-mail 
messages, save them to hard disks, etc.
MF Toolbox is not supported on Windows Server 2003 
and Windows Server 2008.
