About available memory
The actual amount of available memory varies depending on the system configuration of your computer and the application software currently in use.
In any of the above system environments, print quality is not guaranteed.
About unidirectional communication equipment
The printer performs bi-directional communication. Operation of the printer when connected via unidirectional communication equipment is not tested, and as a result, Canon cannot guarantee printer operation if the printer is connected using unidirectional print servers, USB hubs or switching devices.
