Basic Printing
Turning Your Photo Printer On and Off
To turn your photo printer on or off, press the
POWER button.
The POWER lamp will flash green when warming
up or when a print job is being sent to the
printer. It will glow a steady (non-flashing) green
when the printer is ready for use or when the
print job is complete.
If the POWER lamp flashes orange, see
“Handling Error Messages” on page 43.
What Is a Printer Driver?
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 S9000 photo printer driver also provides other features,
such as monitoring the printer’s paper supply and ink levels.
Selecting the S9000 Photo Printer for Use
If the S9000 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 S9000 as the default printer.
To set the S9000 as the default printer in Windows:
1.
Click Start, then Settings, then Printers.
For Windows XP, click Start, then Control Panel, then Printers
and Other Hardware, then Printers and Faxes.
2. Right-click the Canon S9000 printer icon, then click Set as Default. The Canon
S9000 printer icon will display a check mark indicating it as the default
printer.
