IJ Start Canon

IJ Start Canon– To install and run Canon IJ Setup, you can follow the instructions given below. The IJ Start Canon can be used for printing, scanning, network settings, and more. Once you have installed this package, you can use its functions effectively.

The Canon IJ printer driver (just called the printer driver below) is software that you install onto your computer so that it can communicate with the printer.

The printer driver will convert the printing data created by your application software into data that your printer can understand, and will then send the converted data to the printer

Because different types and types of printers will also support different data formats, that you need a printer driver and software that supports your printer.

Installing the Printer Driver

• To install the normal printer driver, you can install the driver from Start Setup Again on the setup CD-ROM that came with your printer, but if you don’t have it then you can download it from ij start canon site.
• To install the XPS driver, please load the Setup CD-ROM that came with the printer, then select XPS Driver from Add Software printer.

Specifying the Printer Driver

• To specify the printer driver, the step you need to do is open the Print dialog box of the application software you are using, and then you select “Canon X” (where “X” is the model name of the printer you are using) to specify regular printer driver or select “Canon X XPS” (where ” X “is your model name) to specify the XPS printer driver.

Displays the Manual of the Printer Driver

• To display a setup tab description from the printer driver settings screen, click Help on that tab.
