Printing
ImageBrowser is an application included on the Canon CP Printer Solution
Disk. This application makes it easy to print. This section describes how to
use ImageBrowser to print images with the printer.
Before printing, verify that the printer is on, and that the printer is properly
connected to your computer with a USB cable.
Printers and computer displays use different color reproduction methods,
and lighting conditions and display settings affect the appearance of colors
on your computer’s display. Therefore, the colors in prints may differ from
what you see on the screen. This is not a printer malfunction.
For information on how to install ImageBrowser, see the Printer User Guide.
