Printing
This section describes how to use the printing software, PhotoRecord, to
print the images displayed in ZoomBrowser EX. ZoomBrowser EX and
PhotoRecord are applications included on the Canon CP Printer Solution
Disk. These applications simplify the printing process.
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 problem.
• Do not change the spool settings. The status monitor may not function
correctly.
• For information on how to install ZoomBrowser EX and PhotoRecord, see
the Printer User Guide.
• PhotoRecord allows you to attach various decorative embellishments to
images. This is useful for creating greeting cards and so on.
