Solution
IMPORTANT
a. You can connect or disconnect the USB cable even while the power of the computer or printer is ON. However, do not connect or disconnect the USB cable under the following circumstances, as this may result in a computer or printer error:
- While the computer operating system is starting up immediately after the computer is turned on
- While the printer is in the middle of printing
b. If you connect or disconnect the USB cable while the power of the computer and printer are turned ON, after disconnecting the USB cable, wait for 5 seconds or longer before connecting it again. If you connect the USB cable immediately after disconnecting it, this may result in a computer or printer error.
c. This printer uses bidirectional communication. Operation of the printer when connected via unidirectional communication equipment has not been tested, and as a result, Canon cannot guarantee printer operation when the printer is connected using unidirectional print servers, USB hubs, or switching devices.
NOTE
