About Technical Terms In this section, technical terms used in the manual are explained. A B C D F I K L M O P R S T U W A • Access Point A wireless transceiver or base station that receives information from wireless clients/the machine and rebroadcasts it. Required in an infrastructure network. • Ad-hoc Client computer and machine setting where wireless communication occurs on a peer-to-peer basis, i.e., all clients in with the same SSID/network name communicate directly with each other.
When using WEP as an encryption method, the authentication method is able to fix to Open System or Shared Key. For WPA/WPA2, authentication method is PSK. ◦ Auto The printer automatically changes its authentication method to match the access point. ◦ Open System In this authentication method, the communication partner is authenticated without using WEP key even if Use WEP is selected.
I • IEEE 802.11b International standard for wireless LAN using the 2.4 GHz frequency range with a throughput of up to 11 Mbps. • IEEE 802.11g International standard for wireless LAN using the 2.4 GHz frequency range with a throughput of up to 54 Mbps. Compatible with 802.11b. • IEEE 802.11n International standard for wireless LAN using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency ranges.
L • Link Quality The status of connection between the access point and the printer excluding noise (interference) is indicated with a value from 0 to 100%. • LPR A platform-independent printing protocol used in TCP/IP networks. It is not supported bidirectional communication. M • MAC Address Also known as the physical address. A unique and permanent hardware identifier that is assigned to network devices by its manufacturer.
The printer and all clients on a wireless LAN must use the same SSID in order to communicate with each other. The SSID can be up to 32 characters long, and is made up of alphanumeric characters. The SSID may also be referred to by its network name. • Stealth In the stealth mode, an access point hides itself by not broadcasting its SSID. The client must specify the SSID set to the access point to detect it. • Subnet Mask IP address has two components, the network address and the host address.
This machine is a Wi-Fi authorized product. • Wireless LAN A network that, instead of being connected by physical wires, is connected by a wireless technology, such as Wi-Fi. • WPA Security framework announced by the Wi-Fi Alliance in October 2002. The security has been strengthened more than WEP. ◦ Authentication WPA defines the following authentication methods: PSK that can be used without an authentication server, plus WPA-802.1x that do require an authentication server. This machine supports WPA-PSK.
Restrictions If you use a printer over the wireless LAN, the printer may recognize nearby wireless systems, you should set a network key (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) to the access point to encrypt wireless transmission. Wireless communication with a product that does not comply with the Wi-Fi standard cannot be guaranteed. Connecting with too many computers may affect the printer performance, such as printing speed.
About Firewall A firewall is a function of the security software installed in the computer or operation system for computer, and is a system that is designed to prevent unauthorized access to a network. Precautions When a Firewall Function is Enabled • A firewall function may limit communications between a printer and a computer. This may disable printer setup and communications.
Tips for Ensuring Optimal Printing Quality Useful Information about Ink Key Points to Successful Printing Be Sure to Make Paper Settings after Loading Paper Canceling a Print Job Key to Enjoying Consistent Printing Quality Precautions for Safe Transport of the Machine 340
Useful Information about Ink How is ink used for various purposes other than printing? Ink may be used for purposes other than printing. When you use the Canon printer for the first time after you install the bundled ink tanks, the printer consumes a small amount of ink in the amount to enable printing by filling the nozzles of the Print Head with ink. For this reason, the number of sheets that can be printed with the first ink tanks is fewer than the succeeding ink tanks.
When the ink (A) runs out, the ink lamp flashes slowly to indicate that the ink is running low. Then, when the ink (B) runs out, the ink lamp flashes fast to indicate that the ink tank needs to be replaced with a new one.
Key Points to Successful Printing Check the machine status before printing! Is the print head OK? If a print head nozzle is clogged, print will be faint and papers will be wasted. Print the nozzle check pattern to check the print head. Maintenance Procedure Is the inside of the machine smeared with ink? After printing large quantities of paper or performing borderless printing, the area where papers go through may get smeared with ink. Clean the inside of your machine with Bottom Plate Cleaning.
Be Sure to Make Paper Settings after Loading Paper If the media type setting is not the one for the loaded paper, printing results may not be satisfactory. After loading paper, be sure to select the appropriate media type setting for the loaded paper. Print Results Not Satisfactory There are various types of paper: paper with special coating on the surface for printing photos with optimal quality and paper suitable for documents.
Canceling a Print Job Never touch the ON button! If you touch the ON button while printing is in progress, the print data sent from the computer queues in the machine and you may not be able to continue to print. Touch the Stop button to cancel printing.
Key to Enjoying Consistent Printing Quality The key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the print head from drying or clogging. Always observe the following rules for optimal printing quality. Never disconnect the power plug until the power is turned off! If you touch the ON button to turn off the power, the machine caps the print head (nozzles) automatically to prevent from drying.
Precautions for Safe Transport of the Machine When relocating the machine, make sure of the following. Important When sending the machine for repair Pack the machine in a sturdy box so that it is placed with its bottom facing down, using sufficient protective material to ensure safe transport. With the print head and ink tank left installed in the machine, touch the ON button to turn off the power. This allows the machine to automatically cap the print head, thus preventing it from drying.
5. Use adhesive tape to secure all the covers on the machine to keep them from opening during transportation. Then pack the machine in the plastic bag. 6. Attach the protective material to the machine when packing the machine in the box.
