Installing the Printer Driver
To use this printer driver with software applications that operate with Microsoft Windows, use the following installation procedure.
NOTE
Before installation, log into Windows as an Administrator.
If a message prompting you to restart your computer is displayed when using the installer, make sure to restart your computer. If you do not restart your computer, existing drivers may not operate correctly.
If you are using the printer auto-creation mechanism in a Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) environment, you may not be able to correctly install this driver using the Installer. If so, restart the XenApp Server PC and check the Printers folder. If any existing printer icons are no longer displayed, re-install the relevant printer drivers in the XenApp Server PC using the Add Printer Wizard in the Printers folder.
Then, before starting the Installer to install this driver, disconnect all client printers from all the ICA sessions by using the ICA Client Printer Configuration utility. After installing the driver, restart the ICA Client Printer Configuration utility and reconnect the printers.
We recommend that you use the installer to update or add a printer driver. You can also update or add a driver from the Add Printer Wizard. For details, refer to "To install using the Add Printer Wizard:."
If you use a SMB (NetBIOS network) printer as a shared printer on the server PC, use the Add Printer Wizard, and select "Network printer" when installing the printer driver.
If you are using a shared printer in the Print Server (Point and Print) environment, it is necessary to install Canon Driver Information Assist Service in the server PC in order to use the acquire device information function.
When acquiring driver information using the Canon Driver Information Assist Service, if a warning regarding removing Windows Firewall blocking is displayed, remove the block.

Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions
If you print a document that has an odd number of pages as a two-sided document from an application, the application may automatically insert a blank page to bring the number of pages up to an even number. When this happens, the blank page inserted by the application is counted up in the same way as a printed page.
To register the custom paper size you want to use, access the [Document Properties] dialog box from the Printers folder with Administrator privileges, and then specify the paper size in the [Custom Paper Size Settings] dialog box which is displayed by clicking the [Custom Paper Size] button in the [Page Setup] sheet.
If you are using a USB connection with the printer to print, and cancel a print job that is currently printing from your computer using the print spooler, the printer may not return to a ready state.
In this state, you can print via USB, but not via a network. In order to be able to print from a network, cancel the print job from the control panel of the printer prior to printing.
If you are using Server Core in your Windows Server operating system, you cannot use the printer driver installer. Use the installation function of the operating system to install the printer driver.
You cannot install the driver with the installer. Use the installation options of Windows.
Some print options are not available under local environment or Windows Remote Desktop environment.
If you are using a printer that supports 2-sided printing, the default setting is 2-sided printing.
If both a printer driver (or fax driver) and a USB-compliant scanner driver are not installed, a device connected by USB is recognized as new hardware, and although the following may occur, driver operations will not be affected.
Windows Vista: A dialog box appears each time you connect the device by USB.
Windows 7/8/8.1/10: The relevant printer(s) in the [Devices and Printers] folder are in a warning state.
The driver is still operable in these states. To avoid these phenomena, install the USB-compliant scanner driver (Color Network ScanGear 2 USB). For instructions on how to install the scanner driver, see the readme file provided with the driver.
If you use this printer driver in a server based computing environment, you cannot use the printer driver on client computers using unsupported operating systems.
When using the driver in a USB/WSD connection environment, you cannot use the Get Device Status function, Department ID Management function, and User Authentication function.
Limitations of Specific Printer Models
If you are using a printer model that supports banner page printing, a banner page will not be printed with secured printing, store, hold, overlay printing, perfect binding, saddle stitching, or C-fold printing, or when [Hard Disk Installed] is deselected.
If you are using imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8085/8095/8105 with the optional Staple Finisher-F1 or Booklet Finisher-F1 attached, you cannot output postcards or custom paper sizes (with a height of 148.0 to 181.9 mm).
There are cases where the range of custom paper sizes that can be specified using the driver and the paper sizes that the printer can print differ. For information about custom paper sizes that can be printed, refer to the manual provided with the printer.
If you are using the iR-ADV C2020/2030, C2020i/2030i, C2020L/2030L, or C2025, the following restrictions apply when you set [Resolution] to [1200 dpi] in the [Advanced Settings] dialog box of the [Quality] sheet:
You can only set [Staple Position] in the [Finishing] sheet to the long side of an A4 sheet.
You cannot use the [Rotate] and [Print with Mixed Paper Sizes/Orientations] settings in the [Finishing] sheet.
Depending on the function version of the printer you are using, you may not be able to use the [Copy Set Numbering] setting in the [Advanced Settings] dialog box of the [Finishing] sheet.
If you are using the iR-ADV C2020/2030 without the optional hard disk drive or the iR-ADV C2020L/2030L, you cannot use the following functions:
[Secured Print]
[Promote Print]
Depending on the printer model you are using, when you store a secured print job in the printer, other print jobs may not print. If this happens, output the secured print job. If you still cannot print the other print jobs, reprint them from the computer.
If you have installed a printer driver older than version 20.25 for use with one of the printer models below, and perform an update installation of this printer driver, [Enable bidirectional support] is not selected in the [Ports] tab of the printer properties dialog box. This may result in job cancelation in the print spooler not operating correctly. If this occurs, enable bidirectional support by selecting [Enable bidirectional support].
