In order to use the printer driver, your computer system needs to meet the following
requirements:

• Microsoft Windows Me
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server/Professional
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional/Home Edition
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (32-bit processor version only)
- Operating Environment
* As the actual amount of memory that is available for use differs depending on the configuration of your
computer system and the application you are using, printing cannot be guaranteed in all cases in the above
environments.
- Recommended Environment
■ Interface
• USB: USB 2.0 High-Speed (Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 only), USB Full-Speed
(USB 1.1 equivalent)
NOTE
•
If you want to use the sounds from the printer driver, a PC synthesizer (and the PCM
synthesizer driver) needs to be installed in your computer. Do not use the PC speaker
driver (speaker.drv).
•
This printer uses bidirectional communication. Operation of the printer when connected
via unidirectional communication equipment has not been tested. As a result, Canon
cannot guarantee printer operation when the printer is connected using unidirectional
print servers, USB hubs and switching devices.
