Changing the Printer Operation Mode

If necessary, switch between various modes of printer operation.

The procedure for configuring Custom Settings is as follows:

  1. Make sure that the printer is on, and then select Custom Settings from the pop-up menu on the Canon IJ Printer Utility2

    Note

    • If the computer is unable to communicate with the printer, a message may be displayed because the computer cannot access the function information that was set on the printer.
      If this happens, click Cancel to display the most recent settings specified on your computer.
  2. If necessary, complete the following settings:

    Don't detect mismatch of paper settings when printing from computer
    When you print documents from your computer and the paper settings on the print dialog and the top feed or the manual feed tray paper information registered on the printer do not match, this setting disables the message display and allows you to continue printing.
    To disable detection of paper setting mismatches, select this check box.
    Disable paper width detection when printing from computer
    Even if the paper width identified by the printer during printing from the computer differs from the paper width that was set for Paper Size in the print dialog box, this function disables the message display and allows you to continue printing.
    To disable detection of the paper width during printing, check this check box.
  3. Apply the settings

    Click Apply and when the confirmation message appears, click OK.

    The printer operates with the modified settings hereafter.
