General Notes (Device Management Console)

When using Device Management Console, the following restrictions apply. Please familiarize yourself with them before using it.

  • See the Canon website for products that are compatible with Device Management Console.

  • This guide primarily provides explanations using the screens that appear when you use the Windows 8.1. operating system (hereafter, Windows 8.1) and the Windows 8 operating system (hereafter, Windows 8).

Connecting to a Printer

  • Connecting to a Target Printer

    We recommend using a network connection for printer connection.

  • DHCP-connected Printer

    We recommend that you set a static IP address on any managed printer.

    Important

    • When the power is turned off on a printer with a DHCP connection, the IP address may change the next time the printer is turned on.

      If the IP address changes, the printer must be registered again.

Printer Power

  • The printer information cannot be acquired when the printer power is turned off automatically or it is turned off with the power button.

    In addition, information cannot be acquired from the software when the printer auto power off state or the printer button off state is canceled.

Color Tone

  • The color tone may not be stable even if color calibration is performed.

    For details, see "Managing Colors" for your model from the Home of the Online Manual.
