Operation Manual

Sharing the Printer on a Network

When multiple computers are being used in the network environment, you can share the

printer connected to one computer with the other computers.

The Windows versions of the computers connected to the network do not necessarily have

to be the same.

• Settings on Print Server

This section describes the procedure for setting a computer that connects with this

printer directly through a USB cable.

• Settings on Client PC

This section describes the procedure for setting a computer that uses this printer though

a network.

When you execute print, the data is sent to the printer through the print server system.

Important

In case an error occurred when a document is printed by the client system to a shared

printer, the error message of Canon IJ Status Monitor will be displayed both on the client

system and the print server system. For regular printing, Canon IJ Status Monitor will be

displayed only on the client system.

Note

You must install a print driver in the print server and in each client.
