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 imageRUNNER 400/330, imageRUNNER 400/330-P1/R1, and imageRUNNER
600/550/60, 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. 2-33.)
• 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 imageRUNNER 400/330, imageRUNNER 400/330-P1/R1, and imageRUNNER
600/550/60, 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.
