Reducing the Printer Noise

Quiet Settings

1. Open Canon IJ Printer Assistant Tool

2. Click Quiet Settings

   The Quiet Settings dialog box opens.

   Note

   • If the printer is off or if communication between the printer and the computer is disabled, an error message may appear because the computer cannot collect the printer status.
     If this happens, click OK to display the most recent settings specified on your computer.

3. Set the quiet mode

   If necessary, specify one of the following items:

   Do not use quiet mode

   Select this option when you wish to use the printer with volume of normal operating noise.

   Always use quiet mode

   Select this option when you wish to reduce the operating noise of the printer.

   Use quiet mode during specified hours

   Select this option when you wish to reduce the operating noise of the printer during a specified period of time.
   Set the Start time and the End time of the quiet mode you wish to be activated. If both are set to the same time, the quiet mode will not function.

   Important

   • You can set the quiet mode from the printer or the Canon IJ Printer Assistant Tool.
     No matter how you use to set the quiet mode, the mode is applied when you perform operations from the printer or printing from the computer.
   • If you specify a time for Use quiet mode during specified hours, quiet mode is not applied to operations (direct print, etc.) performed directly from the printer.
