If you do not have a CD drive, you can download the printer driver from Canon's Web
site, or you can contact Canon to order diskettes for a small handling fee (see the Canon
Customer Care Center information on the back cover).
If you do not install Canon Creative now, you can always load it later. Simply refer to
theQuick Start Guide that comes in the Canon Creative CD packet.
After installing Canon Creative (or after you cancel installation of Canon Creative),
the Setup program starts Product Registration. If you register your product now,
you don't need to mail in the Registration card that comes in the box.
When installation is complete, the Setup program determines whether or not your
computer needs to be restarted.
