Installing Printer Driver
This chapter provides instructions for installing the printer driver to use the Canon FAXPHONE L170 as a local printer (connected directly to
your computer). If you want to set the machine as a shared printer, continue the steps in “Setting the Machine as a Shared Printer,” on p. 2-28.
If the machine is already on your network and you want to start using it, proceed to “Using as a Shared Printer on Your Network,” on p. 2-37.
Installing the Printer Driver on Your Computer
Canon Advanced Raster Printing System (CARPS) is the software that extends the power of the Windows operating system
to a printer to speed up and simplify print jobs. CARPS provides more printing control under Windows applications.
This section provides installation procedures of CARPS to use the Canon FAXPHONE L170 as a local printer (connected
directly to your computer). When installing, you can use one of the following methods:
•
User Software
•
Plug and Play
•
Add Printer Wizard
Using User Software
If you install CARPS for the first time and your computer has no printer driver installed through a USB connection, follow the
steps in "Installing Printer Driver through a USB Connection," on p. 2-2. If you update CARPS or change the port setting,
follow the steps in "Installing Printer Driver without a USB Connection," on p. 2-5.
