Installing the Printer Driver
To use this printer driver with software applications that operate with Microsoft Windows, use the following installation procedure.
Before installation, log into Windows as an Administrator.
If a message prompting you to restart your computer is displayed when using the installer, make sure to restart your computer. If you do not restart your computer, existing drivers may not operate correctly.
If you are using the printer auto-creation mechanism in a Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) environment, you may not be able to correctly install this driver using the Installer. If so, restart the XenApp Server PC and check the Printers folder. If any existing printer icons are no longer displayed, re-install the relevant printer drivers in the XenApp Server PC using the Add Printer Wizard in the Printers folder.
Then, before starting the Installer to install this driver, disconnect all client printers from all the ICA sessions by using the ICA Client Printer Configuration utility. After installing the driver, restart the ICA Client Printer Configuration utility and reconnect the printers.
It is recommended to use the installer for upgrading or adding printer drivers. If you install a new printer driver using the Add Printer Wizard, you must upgrade all existing printer drivers by clicking the New Driver button in the Printer properties dialog box.
If you use a SMB (NetBIOS network) printer as a shared printer on the server PC, use the Add Printer Wizard, and select "Network printer" when installing the printer driver.
For information about the installation procedures of drivers with ** after the name of the printer model in "
Canon Products Supported by PCL6 Driver," refer to the "MF Driver Installation Guide."
To install using the Installer:
1. Start the installer.

Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions
If you print a document that has an odd number of pages as a two-sided document from an application, the application may automatically insert a blank page to bring the number of pages up to an even number. When this happens, the blank page inserted by the application is counted up in the same way as a printed page.
To register the custom paper size you want to use, access the [Document Properties] dialog box from the Printers folder with Administrator privileges, and then specify the paper size in the [Custom Paper Size Settings] dialog box which is displayed by clicking the [Custom Paper Size] button in the [Page Setup] sheet.
If you are using a USB connection with the printer to print, and cancel a print job that is currently printing from your computer using the print spooler, the printer may not return to a ready state.
In this state, you can print via USB, but not via a network. In order to be able to print from a network, cancel the print job from the control panel of the printer prior to printing.
If you are using Server Core in your Windows Server operating system, you cannot use the printer driver installer. Use the installation function of the operating system to install the printer driver.
You cannot install the driver with the installer. Use the installation options of Windows.
Some print options are not available under local environment or Windows Remote Desktop environment.
If you are using a printer that supports 2-sided printing, the default setting is 2-sided printing.
If both a printer driver (or fax driver) and a USB-compliant scanner driver are not installed, a device connected by USB is recognized as new hardware, and although the following may occur, driver operations will not be affected.
Windows Vista: A dialog box appears each time you connect the device by USB.
Windows 7/8/8.1/10: The relevant printer(s) in the [Devices and Printers] folder are in a warning state.
The driver is still operable in these states. To avoid these phenomena, install the USB-compliant scanner driver (Color Network ScanGear 2 USB). For instructions on how to install the scanner driver, see the readme file provided with the driver.
If you use this printer driver in a server based computing environment, you cannot use the printer driver on client computers using unsupported operating systems.
When creating an overlay form on one computer, you cannot specify another computer in the network as the location to save the new form file.
Certain TrueType fonts may not be printed correctly. If this occurs, you should disable the [Use Printer Fonts] setting in the [Advanced Settings] dialog box to ensure that all fonts are downloaded with the document, rather than using only those fonts that reside in the printer. The [Advanced Settings] dialog box is displayed by clicking the [Advanced Settings] button in the [Quality] sheet.
Rotated text will not be printed correctly with some applications when [TrueType Mode] is set to [Download as TrueType] or [Download as Bit Image] in the [Advanced Settings] dialog box.
