  • If the Canon IJ Printer Utility does not display the remaining ink level in the Ink Level Information, check whether the print head and the ink tank are properly installed.
  • When the Canon IJ Printer Utility displays the Ink Level Information, close the front cover of the printer.
  • 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.
  • Do not start up the Canon IJ Network Tool while printing.
  • Do not print when the Canon IJ Network Tool is running.
  • If you connect this printer and AirPort with a USB cable and print, you must install the latest AirPort firmware.

Notes on Adding a Printer

  • If you will be installing the Canon printer driver on Mac OS and using the printer through a network connection, you can select Bonjour or Canon IJ Network in the Add (Add Printer) dialog.
    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.
