Customizing the Initial Driver Values
You can create an installation package that customizes the initial values of the driver settings.
When a driver is installed using the created package, the customized initial values are set for the driver during installation.
This function is useful for installing a driver with the same initial settings to multiple computers.
Regarding This Function
This function can be used when installing a new driver with the installer (Setup.exe). It cannot be used when upgrading a driver.
When this function is used to install a driver to a print server, the same initial settings are reflected in the driver on the client side.
Creating an Installation Package with Customized Initial Values
(1) Acquire the installer.
You can acquire the installer by any of the following means:
From the Internet (32-bit and 64-bit versions)
Download the Setup version driver from the Canon website (https://global.canon/).
From the accompanying CD-ROM
Specify one or more initial settings.
The installation process will fail if the InitSettings.ini file has no initial settings specified.
(3) Create an [InitSettings] folder in the driver set of the installer you acquired.
Create it at the same level as [Setup.exe].
Driver InitSettings misc Readme Setup.exe Setup.ini |
(4) Store the InitSettings.ini file created in (2) in the root of the [InitSettings] folder.
NOTEWhen this function is used, the installation process may take longer than with a regular installation.
The [Profile] item of the installed driver is displayed as [<Change> Default Settings].
