Shipping Materials Check that all the following items are in the box. If anything is missing or is damaged, contact your Canon Service Representative. Printer Setup Software & User’s Guide CD-ROM Setup Guide Print Head 5 Ink Tanks USB cable To use the printer over wireless LAN, you need an access point. To use the printer over wired LAN, you need an ethernet cable (and a hub, if you are connecting multiple computers). Purchase them separately as necessary.
Confirming Your Connection Type If your printer is connected to a network, it can be shared by multiple computers. This printer can be used over wireless or wired LAN, as well as with USB connection. Connection type available for this printer are as follows.
Connecting over Wireless LAN via an Access Point Your computer communicates with the printer via an access point (the infrastructure mode). To share the printer among multiple computers, connect them to the access point. • When using this printer in a wireless LAN setup, use the infrastructure mode. It does not support the ad-hoc mode. • An access point is needed to set up the infrastructure mode.
Connecting over Wired LAN Your computer communicates with the printer via an Ethernet network. The Internet Ethernet cable Ethernet cable Broadband modem with router Hub Ethernet cable To set up the printer for use over wired LAN, see “First-time Setup for Use over Wired LAN” on page 31 after you finished setting the printer. Your hub may have the router function. The type of device in use in your network may vary. Refer to the manual of your device for details.
Using both USB Cable and Wireless LAN Connections A computer communicates directly with the printer with a USB cable, while other computers are connected over a wireless LAN (infrastructure mode). USB cable Wireless LAN Wireless LAN Wireless LAN access point A wireless LAN card or adapter must be installed in your computer to connect your computer to the wireless LAN. You need to perform setup both on the computer to be used with USB connection and on the computers to be used over wireless LAN.

Confirming the Setup Procedure Along with the various types of connection this printer is capable of (see “Confirming Your Connection Type” on page 5), necessary setup procedure also differs with whether you are setting up the printer for the first time or if the printer is already set up and you are adding new computers to use the printer. • Before proceeding to setup, make sure to read and follow directions in “Before Setup” on page 16.
Setting Up the Printer and the Computer Before Setup Make sure of the following before proceeding to installation. • Disable virus detection or any other resident programs. • Make sure you are connected to the Internet through your LAN. To confirm this, see if you can browse the web. • If MAC address filtering or IP address filtering is set to the access point or the router to connect to, disable it. • To find out the MAC address of your printer, print the network settings information.
For Windows • When using Windows XP, you must log on as the administrator. When using Windows 2000, you must log on as a member of the administrators group. Do not switch users during setup. • If the following screen appears automatically, click Cancel to quit the screen, turn off the printer, remove the USB cable, then resume setup. Re-insert the Setup Software & User’s Guide CD-ROM.
