Most computers require special software to link the software applications you

use to create documents or images with your printer. This software, called a

printer driver, converts information from the application into a format that the

printer can understand. The Canon S300 printer driver also provides other

features, such as monitoring the printer’s paper supply and ink levels.

If the S300 is the only printer connected to your computer, it will automatically

be set as the default (main) printer. However, if your computer has access to

multiple printers, you can set the S300 as the default printer.
