About User Software CD-ROM
Drivers & Toolbox
UFRII LT Driver
Using the UFRII LT Driver, the various data
processing tasks conventionally executed within
the printer are appropriately divided between
the host computer and the printer to greatly
reduce the overall printing time. The workload
can be delegated to match the output data, thus
realizing a significant increase in speed through
optimization.
FAX Driver
The FAX Driver is conceptually akin to a printer
driver. A user selects [Print] from any Windows
application software, selects the Canon fax driver
as the printer, and specifies its destination(s) and
options. The FAX Driver would then convert this
into an image that conforms to standard fax
protocols, to be printed or stored on the
recipient fax machine(s).
USB Scanner Driver (ScanGear MF)
ScanGear MF enables computer to use the
machine as a scanner via USB.
ScanGear MF is not supported on Windows Server 2003
and Windows Server 2008.
MF Toolbox (Available with USB connection)
MF Toolbox is a program that enables you to
easily import images scanned with a scanner
into an application, attach them to e-mail
messages, save them to hard disks, etc.
MF Toolbox is not supported on Windows Server 2003
and Windows Server 2008.
Network Scanner Driver (Color Network
ScanGear)
Color Network ScanGear enables computer to
use the machine as a scanner via network.
