Getting Started
IMPORTANT
• For Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003, log on as the Administrator when you install
the driver.
• To install a printer driver using the Installer in Windows NT 4.0, Service Pack 6.0 or later
must be installed.
• 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. 2-11.
