What Is a Printer Driver?

Most computers require special software to link the software applications you use

to create documents or images with your printer. This software, called a

printer

driver

, converts information from the application into a format that the printer can

understand. The Canon S200 printer driver also provides other features, such as

monitoring the printer’s paper supply and ink levels.

Selecting the S200 Printer for Use

If the S200 is the only printer connected to your computer, it will automatically be

set as the default (main) printer. However, if your computer has access to multiple

printers, you can set the S200 as the default printer.

To set the S200 as the default printer in Windows

Click

Start

, then

Settings

, then

Printers

Right-click the Canon S200 printer icon, then click

Set as Default

. The Canon

S200 printer icon will display a check mark indicating that it is the

default printer.

To select the S200 from within a Windows application:

Even if another printer is set as the default printer, you can still select the Canon

S200 for a speciﬁc print job from within most Windows applications.

From the

File

menu, click

Select

Canon S200

from the Name drop-down list, then click

To select the S200 in Mac

OS:

Click

Apple

, then

Chooser

Click the

S200

printer icon. The S200 will remain the default printer until

another is selected.

Menus vary between applications. Consult your application user

documentation if the Print option is not listed.

Basic Printing

Recommended Paper Use

Two steps are recommended for getting the best output for your printed

documents:

•

Set the printer thickness lever inside the printer cover for the media used.

(See “Load Limit and Paper Thickness Lever Position” on page 4.)

•

Select the correct media setting in the printer driver from your computer.

(See “Chapter 2: Advanced Print Features” on page 9.)

General Business Printing

For everyday paper printing, use plain paper (17 to 28 lb.). Use standard #10

envelopes with your S200 printer.

Specialty Media

For optimum results, Canon recommends that you use genuine Canon media with

your S200 printer. Follow the instructions that come with any specialty media on

storing, handling and printing.

Specialty media available for use with the S200 include:

•

Canon High Resolution Paper

•

Canon Transparencies

•

Canon Banner Paper

•

Canon Glossy Photo Paper

•

Canon Photo Paper Pro

•

Canon Glossy Photo Cards

•

Canon High Gloss Photo Film

•

Canon T-Shirt Transfers

Handle media carefully by its edges. Dirt or ﬁngerprints on the print surface will

adversely affect print quality.

For instructions on loading and handling specialty media, see the

instructions that come with that media type or see the

S200

User’s Guide

on the Setup Software & User’s Guide CD-ROM.

Basic Printing

The S200 can print on paper ranging from standard

copier paper (usually 17–28 lb.) to specialty media

paper and envelopes.

The paper thickness lever is located inside the front

cover, on the printhead holder. It controls the paper

feed for the type and weight of the media on which

you are printing.

For envelopes (see “To load envelopes:” on

page 6), banners and T-Shirt Transfers.

For regular paper and other media with a left position in the table (see

“Load Limit and Paper Thickness Lever Position” on page 4).

Use the chart on the previous page to ensure that the paper thickness lever is set

correctly for the type of media you are using.

To load paper or other media:

Make sure the paper thickness lever is set

correctly for the media used.

Slide the paper guide completely to the left.

Fan the edges of the sheets to remove static

cling and avoid paper jams, then tap the

edges of the stack against a ﬂat surface so

the stack is aligned.

Insert the media into the paper rest, with the

print side facing up.

Slide the paper guide to the edge of the media until it is ﬁrmly in place.

Some papers, especially specialty media, have speciﬁc sides for

printing. The print side is usually the glossier side or the brighter

white side. When using specialty media, do not touch the print side.

You can load up to 50 sheets of plain (17 lb.) paper or 40 sheets

of Canon High Resolution Paper in the paper rest at one time.

Never load the paper above the load limit mark.

Basic Printing

To load envelopes:

Open the front cover and set the paper thickness lever to the envelope mark.

Close the cover.

Slide the paper feed guide to the left.

Press down on the corners

and sides of the envelopes to

make them as ﬂat as possible

by expelling all of the air.

To avoid paper jams, make

sure envelopes are ﬂat before

you load them into the

paper tray.

With the address side facing down and pointed in

the direction shown in the illustration, align the

stack with the right side of the paper rest, then

insert the stack into the printer.

Slide the paper guide to the edge of the

envelopes until it is ﬁrmly in place.

Make sure that none of the ﬂaps overlap. If the envelope edges

are not ﬂat, crease them with the side of a pen.

Do not allow more than 5 envelopes to stack on the paper output tray.

When printing envelopes, be sure to

select Envelope as the Media Type

on the Main tab of the Properties

window. For more information, see

page 9 (Windows) or page 11

(Mac OS) of this guide, or refer to the

S200 User’s Guide

on the Setup

Software & User’s Guide CD-ROM.
