About User Software CD-ROM |
Details about each drivers installation can be found in the corresponding HTML manuals listed in the Manuals subsection below.
Using the UFRII LT Driver, the various data processing tasks conventionally executed within the printer are appropriately divided between the host PC and the printer to greatly reduce the overall printing time. The workload can be delegated to match the output data, thus realizing a significant increase in speed through optimization.
The FAX Driver is conceptually akin to a printer driver. A user selects [Print] from any Windows application software, selects the Canon fax driver as the printer, and specifies its destination(s) and options. The FAX Driver then converts this into an image that conforms to standard fax protocols, to be printed or stored on the recipient fax machine(s).
This is Hewlett-Packard's PCL printer driver, which includes the PCL5c, and PCL6 drivers. The PCL5c printer driver is for color printers, while the PCL6 printer driver is for black-and-white printer. PCL6 is an advanced version of PCL5e and offers superior printing quality and speed. This machine supports the PCL5c and PCL6 printer drivers.
Install this software to use the machine as a scanner on a network.
Details about each drivers installation can be found in the corresponding HTML manuals listed in the Manuals subsection below.
The NetSpot Device Installer enables you to set up the machine for network operations. When you start this program, click [Additional Software Programs] (See step 3 of "Installation Procedure - For Network Connection," or step 2 of "Installation Procedure - For USB Connection - Install Software,") then follow the instructions that appear on the screen. For details, see the Readme file and online help for this program.
Font Manager is a comprehensive program that helps you manage your fonts in Microsoft Windows.
