Getting Started
Setting Up the Printer Configuration
In order to use the functions of an optional unit attached to the printer, you need to specify the
paper source options, output options, and other options in the printer driver, by setting up the
printer configuration.
The printer configuration can be set up automatically while installing the driver, depending on
the port selected for the machine. If the machine cannot be configured during the installation,
follow the procedure below. There are two methods for setting up the printer configuration:
automatic and manual.
IMPORTANT
For the iR400, GP405/GP300, and GP605/GP605P/GP555, the printer configuration cannot be set up
automatically while installing the driver. Follow the procedure below to set up the printer configuration
after the installation.
Configuring Automatically
If your printer is connected to a network, you can set up the printer configuration automatically.
IMPORTANT
• 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 PC in order to set up the printer
configuration automatically. (See "Installing the Canon Driver Information Assist Service," on p. 2-35.)
• If you are using a local printer (connected to an LPT port, USB port, etc.), you cannot set up the printer
configuration automatically.
• For the iR400, GP405/GP300, and GP605/GP605P/GP555, one of the following environments is
required:
- Novell NetWare IPX/SPX Client Software needs to be installed in your PC to use IPX/SPX as the
protocol.
- TCP/IP Protocol provided by Windows needs to be installed in your PC to use TCP/IP as the protocol.
