Configuring Automatically

Return to Overview

If your printer is connected to a network, you can set up the printer configuration automatically.


Remark
  • 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 "When Installing the Canon Driver Information Assist Service.")
  • If you are using a local printer (connected to an LPT port, USB port, etc.), you cannot set up the printer configuration automatically.
  • To print from a computer with the LASER CLASS 810, an optional network printer kit is required.
