Printing Documents from a Computer
This section describes the basic procedure for printing from a computer (printer driver).
Make sure that the printer driver is installed on your computer. To check if the driver is
installed, see “Set Up Computers and Software” in the Starter Guide. For details on the
printer driver settings, see Online Help.
Printing documents from a computer and scanning documents over the network cannot be processed at the same time.
If this happens, these documents are handled differently depending on the following:
If you print PC documents when the machine is scanning documents, an error may occur. In this case, the machine
scans documents first, then starts printing the PC documents when scanning is complete.
If you scan documents when the machine is printing PC documents, scanning is canceled. Wait for the PC documents
to be printed out, then perform the scanning operation again.
Printing methods may differ depending on the applications you are using. For details, see the instruction manuals
provided with the application software.
If you are using a shared printer in the Print Server (Point and Print) environment, it is necessary to install the Canon Driver
Information Assist Service in the server computer in order to set up the printer configuration automatically or to use the
Department ID Management feature. For instructions on how to install the Canon Driver Information Assist Service, see
“Set Up Computers and Software,” in the Starter Guide.
The machine may not be able to print data such as color photos if the data size of a single page is too large. If such is the
case, reduce the data size by lowering the resolution or by changing the file format.
The following procedures are explained using sample screens from Windows 2000. The display may differ depending on
the operating system, as well as the type and version of the printer drivers.
Printing speed may be slower when sending an e-mail or scanning documents to a file server in B&W format.

Open the document you want to print
from the application.
