Changing the Machine Operation Mode

If necessary, switch between various modes of machine operation.

The procedure for configuring Custom Settings is as follows:

  1. Make sure that the machine is on, and then select Custom Settings from the pop-up menu on the Canon IJ Printer Utility

    Note

    • If the computer is unable to communicate with the machine, a message may be displayed because the computer cannot access the function information that was set on the machine.
      If this happens, click Cancel to display the most recent settings specified on your computer.
  2. If necessary, complete the following settings:

    Ink Drying Wait Time
    You can set the length of the machine rest time until printing of the next page begins. Moving the slider to the right increases the pause time, and moving the slider to the left decreases the time.
    If the paper gets stained because the next page is ejected before the ink on the printed page dries, increase the ink drying wait time.
    Reducing the ink drying wait time speeds up printing.
    Align heads manually
    Usually, the Print Head Alignment function of Test Print on the pop-up menu in the Canon IJ Printer Utility is set to automatic head alignment, but you can change it to manual head alignment.
    If the printing results are unsatisfactory even after you execute automatic head alignment, execute manual head alignment.
    Check this check box to perform the manual head alignment. Uncheck this check box to perform the automatic head alignment.
  3. Apply the settings

    Click Apply and when the confirmation message appears, click OK.

    The machine operates with the modified settings hereafter.
