Getting Started

IMPORTANT

•

For Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, log on as the Administrator when you install the driver.

•

If you use the Installer, you can also update existing drivers simultaneously installing a new driver, or

update existing drivers without installing a new driver. Canon machines whose printer drivers can be

updated are listed under "Supported Canon Products," on p. 1-3.

•

Although the installation process described in this manual refers to the [PCL] folder on the CD-ROM, the

CD-ROM you have been supplied with may not have this folder, depending on the printer you are using.

Standard Installation

Standard installation is when you select an existing printer port manually.

You can also install a network printer or set up a shared printer by following the procedure

below.

NOTE

If you are using a printer connected to a network using TCP/IP protocol, you can automatically search

for a port to install the printer driver. For instructions, see "Dynamic Installation," on p. 2-13.

Insert the Software CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive ➞ wait for the

installation process to start.

If nothing happens, double-click the [My Computer] icon ➞ the CD-ROM drive icon ➞ the

[Minst.exe] icon to start the installation process.

If you cannot find the [Minst.exe] icon on your CD-ROM, follow the steps below.

1. Double-click the following folders: [PCL] ➞ [uk_eng].

2. Double-click the [Setup.exe] icon to start the installation process ➞ proceed to step 4.

NOTE

Depending on the software or the operating system you are using, a screen for selecting the
