■ Interface
• USB: USB 2.0 High-Speed (Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 only), USB Full-Speed

NOTE
• If you want to use the sounds from the printer driver, a PC synthesizer (and the PCM
synthesizer driver) needs to be installed in your computer. Do not use the PC speaker
driver (speaker.drv).
• This printer uses bidirectional communication. Operation of the printer when connected
via unidirectional communication equipment has not been tested. As a result, Canon
cannot guarantee printer operation when the printer is connected using unidirectional
print servers, USB hubs and switching devices.
