Updating the Driver

You can update installed drivers to their newer versions.
It is recommended that you download the latest drivers corresponding to new functions and/or operating systems, and update them.
You can update already installed drivers at the same time as installing a driver for a new device, but here the procedure for updating installed drivers only is explained.

Prerequisites

Acquire the installer
You can download the update installer from the Canon web site (https://global.canon/).
Connect the device by USB cable and turn the power on (when updating a driver installed with a USB connection).
When starting the computer, log on as a user with administrator privileges.

Procedures

1.
Start the installer → proceed according to the instructions on the screen.
2.
Select [Custom] for [Printer Setup] → click [Next].
3.

If there are devices whose drivers you do not intend to update, click [Select Printers to Update] → deselect the devices from [Printer List] → click [OK].
