Installation Preparations and Precautions
This explains the preparatory procedures required for installing the driver and what precautions need to be taken when installing.
Acquiring the Installer
You can acquire the installer by any of the following means.
Download from the web site (32-bit and 64-bit versions)
Download the Setup version driver from the Canon web site (http://www.canon.com/).
Supplied CD-ROM
Determining the Scanner Selection Method
You can use the device you selected in the scanner selection screen displayed after the completion of installation as a scanner. When you first use the scanner, it is necessary to check the following.
The scanner selection method
Automatic search (targeting scanners in the subnet (network having the same network ID))
Specify the IP address or host name
Designated Formats When Selecting the Scanner
For details about the network settings of the device such as checking and changing the IP address or host name, refer to the manual of the device.
Authentication function settings (if you can use the authentication function)
IMPORTANT
To search by host name for a scanner outside the subnet, you need to register the device in the DNS and set reverse DNS lookup. If it is not registered, the discovery time increases and the result will be an IP address. For details about DNS settings, refer to the manual of the device or consult your network administrator.
Precautions To Be Taken When Installing
Take care of the following items when installing.
If the [User Account Control] dialog box is displayed, perform the following operation.
If you are logged on with an Administrator account: Click [Allow] or [Continue].
If you are logged on with a standard user account: Enter an Administrator account password → click [OK].
If the [Windows Security] dialog box is displayed, click [Install this driver software anyway].
If you use the installer to install a driver, you can update existing drivers at the same time that you install the new driver.
