The average yield of the included toner cartridge is as follows.
Canon Cartridge 128 Starter Average yield*1: 1,000 sheets
*1 The average yield is on the basis of "ISO/IEC 19752"*when printing A4 size paper with the default print density setting.
*2 "ISO/IEC 19752" is the global standard relating to "Method for the determination of toner cartridge yield for monochromatic electrophotographic printers
and multi-function devices that contain printer components" issued by ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
The average yield of the replacement toner cartridge differs from which of the supplied toner cartridge.
To purchase replacement toner cartridges, see "About Replacement Toner Cartridge" in the e-Manual.

About the Drivers and Software
The drivers and software included in the CD-ROM supplied with this machine are as follows.
MF Drivers
Printer driver You can print from an application using the machine by installing the printer driver on
your computer. You can process print data at high speed by compressing the print data
using the computer's processing capabilities.
Fax driver If you install the fax driver on your computer, you can select “Print” from an application,
select the Canon fax driver as a printer, and specify the output destination and options.
The fax driver converts the data into an image that conforms to standard fax protocols so
that the data can be printed or saved using the recipient’s fax machine.
Scanner driver You can use the machine as a scanner if you install the scanner driver on your computer.
Network Scan Utility
(MF4570dn only)
This software is required for using the scan functions via a network. This software is
installed with the scanner driver.
MF Toolbox
MF Toolbox* MF Toolbox is a program which allows you to easily open an image scanned by the
scanner in an application, attach the scanned image to an e-mail, and store the scanned
image in a hard disk.
Additional Software Programs
Presto! PageManager This is software for managing scanned images.
* MF Toolbox for Macintosh and MF Toolbox for Windows may be different in some features.

There are two ways to connect the machine to a computer: Network connection and USB connection. Select the connection
type according to your environment or functions to be used.
* Functions with USB connection and network connection can be used simultaneously.
* To use the scanning function with Macintosh, you need to connect with a USB cable.
About obtaining the IP address automatically (AutoIP)
<DHCP> or <Auto IP> is enabled in the default setting.
Even if you do not set the IP address manually, this machine can obtain it automatically.
• Even if you do not have a dedicated device such as a DHCP server, the IP address is
obtained automatically.
• The <DHCP> setting is prioritized over <Auto IP>.
If a fixed IP address is set as the IP address of the computer, set the fixed IP address also
for this machine manually.
1. Connect the LAN cable.
The procedures for connecting to and configuring a network are the
same for Windows and Macintosh.
Connect to and configure a network using the following procedure.
* Installation methods for the software are different. After connection and
configuration, see the relevant pages for the respective procedures for
installation.
