  • The following functions cannot be used in Mac OS, though they can be used in Windows computers.
    • Duplex Printing (manual)
    • Booklet Printing
    • Tiling/Poster Printing
  • Depending on the application software that you are using, a preview may not be displayed on the left side of the Print dialog.

Notes on Adding a Printer

    Canon recommends you to use Canon IJ Network for printing.
    If Bonjour is selected, remaining ink level messages may differ from those indicated by Canon IJ Network.
