Selecting [USB Connection] to Install
This explains the procedure for connecting a device and computer with a USB cable and installing a driver.
IMPORTANTIf connecting by USB and installing, since Canon Driver Information Assist Service cannot be installed simultaneously, you cannot use the device information retrieval function as is. If you want to use it, install the Canon Driver Information Assist Service after installing the driver. However, if connected by USB, you may not be able to use the device information retrieval function, depending on the device and environment you are using.
