If necessary, switch between various modes of printer operation.
The procedure for configuring Custom Settings is as follows:
Make sure that the printer 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 printer, a message may be displayed because the computer cannot access the function information that was set on the printer.
If this happens, click Cancel to display the most recent settings specified on your computer.
If necessary, complete the following settings:
You can set the length of the printer 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.
Displays a guide when you perform operations in which the paper setting procedure is complicated.
Displays the guide message before the printer begins hagaki printing.
To hide the guide messages starting from the next execution of other than plain paper printing, select the Do not show again check box in the displayed dialog.
To display the guide messages again, display the Canon IJ Printer Utility pop-up menu, select Custom Settings, and then check the Hagaki Printing check box.
Important
With Mac OS X v10.8 or Mac OS X v10.7, you cannot use Display Guide Message.
Therefore, if you check the Do not show again check box when a guide message is displayed before printing starts, this will stop any more guide messages from being displayed.
Detects whether a printable disc is loaded on the disc tray during disc label printing and displays a message if a disc is not loaded.
Check this check box to print with detecting whether a printable disc is loaded.
Uncheck this check box to print without detecting whether a printable disc is loaded.
Important
If you leave this check box unchecked, the printer may print to the disc tray even if a printable disc is not loaded on the disc tray. Therefore, you should check this check box under normal circumstances.
If you load a printable disc that has already been printed onto the disc tray, the printer may detect that no printable disc is loaded on the disc tray. In this case, uncheck this check box.
The printer can increase the gap between the print head and the paper during high-density printing to prevent paper abrasion.
Check this check box to prevent paper abrasion.
Detects the width of paper loaded in the printer when printing.
When the paper width detected by the printer is narrower than the width of the paper specified in Paper Size on the Print dialog, a message is displayed and printing is stopped.
Check this check box to detect the paper width.
Important
When you use a custom page size, correctly set the size of the paper loaded in the printer in the Custom Paper Sizes dialog.
If an error message is displayed even though paper of the same size that was specified is loaded, uncheck the Detect paper width check box.
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 of automatic print head alignment are not satisfactory, see "Aligning the Print Head Position Manually from Your Computer," and perform manual head alignment.
Check this check box to perform the manual head alignment.
Uncheck this check box to perform the automatic head alignment.
