Canon IJ Printer Driver
The Canon IJ printer driver (called printer driver below) is a software that is installed on your
computer for printing data with this machine.
The printer driver converts the print data created by your application software into data that
your printer can understand, and sends the converted data to the printer.
Because different models support different print data formats, you need a printer driver for
the specific model you are using.
Printer Driver Types
On Windows Vista SP1 or later, you can install the XPS printer driver in addition to the
regular printer driver.
The XPS printer driver is suited to print from an application software that supports XPS
printing.
Important
To use the XPS printer driver, the standard printer driver must already be installed on
your computer.
Installing the Printer Driver
• To install the regular printer driver, load the Setup CD-ROM that comes with the
machine, and then install the driver from Start Setup Again .
• To install the XPS printer driver, load the Setup CD-ROM that comes with the machine,
and then select XPS Driver from Add Software .
Specifying the Printer Driver
To specify the printer driver, open the Print dialog box of the application software you are
using, and select "XXX Printer" (where "XXX" is your model name) to specify the regular
printer driver or select "XXX Printer XPS" (where "XXX" is your model name) to specify the
XPS printer driver.
