What Is a Printer Driver?

Most computers require special software to link the programs you use to create

documents or images with the printer. This special software, called a printer

driver, converts the information from the software application into a format that

the printer can understand, and provides other handy features, such as

monitoring the levels of ink in the printer.

This User’s Guide describes some of the features of your

S800 photo printer and how to use them. For more detailed

information, view and/or print the S800 Reference Guide on the

Setup Software & Reference Guide CD-ROM.

Driver features described in this guide may be different for

Windows NT®4.0 and Windows 2000 users.

If the S800 is the only printer connected to your computer, it will automatically be

used every time you print. However, if your computer has access to multiple

printers, you can set the S800 as the default (main) printer. In Windows®, you can

also select a printer for one-time use within an application.

Caring for your Photographs

The Canon S800 photo printer will generate spectacular results for printing

photographs, especially when used with Canon specialty media. All images are

susceptible to fading over time, but proper care of prints made from your S800

photo printer will insure that print quality lasts long into the future.

There are many environmental factors that impact how long a printout will last

before noticeable image fading occurs. Exposure to sunlight or other light

sources, humidity, temperature, exposure to cigarette smoke and ozone are just

some of the factors that can impact image permanence. While many of these

variables cannot be controlled, there are basic measures that you can take to

prolong image quality:

•Use Canon Photo Paper Pro and genuine Canon inks. Canon Photo Paper Pro

is available in both letter size (8 ½"x 11") and photo size (4"x 6"), and is

specifically designed to work with genuine Canon inks.

•Mount images under glass to reduce exposure to ozone, cigarette smoke and

other environmental factors that can degrade images.

•Keep printed images out of direct sunlight or other intense light sources.

See “Using Specialty Media” for more information.

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

your S800 photo printer. Be sure to follow all instructions on storing, handling,

and printing on the media.
