Canon BJ Series Windows 95 Printer Driver - Version 3.0
************************************************************************
Thank you for participating in the Beta testing of the Canon BJ Series 
Windows 95 Printer Driver - Version 3.0 BETA.  Canon is beta testing the
new driver to ensure the best compatibility with Windows 95 and designed
for Windows 95 applications.  

If you have not read the READ1ST.TXT file, please do so now.

This README file contains information to help you install and use your 
printer driver software with Microsoft Windows 95.  Since this is a BETA
version of the printer driver, no support of the driver is available. If
you have comments about the driver or wish to submit a bur report, please
fill out the form in the WIN95BUG.DOC file included with the drivers.
Additional information and updated printer drivers may be posted on 
CompuServe and Canon's BBS from time to time.

System Requirements
===================
The Canon Bubble Jet Series Printer Driver does not require any additional
system configuration beyond those required to run Windows 95.  However, you
can improve the performance of your Canon printer if you:

1. Increase the amount of RAM memory to more than 8 MB.  Increasing RAM memory
   will result in faster printing and reduce compatibility problems with some
   applications.  As an alternative, you can increase the amount of virtual
   memory to reduce the possibility of "low memory" conditions (although this
   does not improve printing performance).
2. Allow at least 5 MB of hard disk space on the drive that contains your
   system's TEMP directory.


Removing the Microsoft Mini Driver
==================================
If you are currently using a Windows 3.1x driver or the Windows 95 Mini
drivers from Microsoft, you will want to remove the old driver before 
installing this driver.  To remove the old driver, use the following 
procedure:
  1. Start Windows 95 on your system.
  2. Click on the "Start" button.
  3. Point to the "Settings" item.
  4. Click on the "Printers" item to display the Printers folder.
  5. Right-click on the Printer to remove.
  6. Click on the "Delete" menu choice.
  7. Click on the "Yes" button.
If Windows 95 asks you if you want to delete all asociated files, click
on the "Yes" button.


Creating Install Disks
====================== 
Three of the files that you downloaded are:
	BJWIN951.EXE	Self extracting zip file for disk 1
	BJWIN952.EXE	Self extracting zip file for disk 2
	BJWIN953.EXE	Self extracting zip file for disk 3
To create installation diskettes, have three blank, formatted 3.5" 
(1.44MB) diskettes, labeled Canon BJ Series Windows 95 Printer Driver 
Disk 1/3, Disk 2/3 and Disk 3/3, respectively.
  1. Place Disk 1/3 in drive A:
  2. Type:    BJWIN951 A: 
  1. Place Disk 2/3 in drive A:
  2. Type:    BJWIN952 A:

You can now proceed with the installation instructions below.



Installing the Printer Driver into Windows 95
============================================= 
To use this printer driver with software application packages that operate
with Microsoft Windows 95, use the following installation procedure:
  1. Start Windows 95 on your system.
  2. Click on the "Start" button.
  3. Point to the "Settings" item.
  4. Click on the "Printers" item to display the Printers folder.

  8. Insert diskette #1 into the floppy disk drive of your computer system.
     If the floppy disk drive is drive A, click on the "OK" button and
     continue with the next step.  Otherwise, type the letter name of your
     floppy disk drive (such as "B:") and then click on the "OK" button.
  9. Follow the instructions of the Add Printer Wizard until the installation
     is finished.  An icon for your printer will then appear in the Printers
     folder.

You are now ready to print from any Windows software application packages.
If your printer model can print in color, the driver is automatically set for
printing in color.  Otherwise, the driver is automatically set for grayscale
printing.


Accessing the Printer Properties Dialog Box
===========================================
The Printer Properties dialog box contains several tabs that allow you to
setup, control and maintain your Canon printer.  To access the Printer
Properties dialog box, use the following procedure:
  1. Click on the "Start" button.
  2. Point to the "Settings" item.
  3. Click on the "Printers" item to display the Printers folder.
  4. Click on the icon for your printer to highlight it.
  5. Click with the right mouse button on the icon, and then click with the
     left mouse button on "Properties".

This will display the the Printer Properties dialog box which contains the
following tabs:
  General  - Lets you print a test page and define separator pages
  Details  - Lets you define printer port assignments and spooler settings
  Paper    - Lets you select paper size, orientation, media type and paper feed
  Graphics - Lets you select print quality and color/monochrome mode
  Setting  - Lets you enable or disable the Print Set-up Analyzer and Cartridge
             Notification, and save/restore all driver settings
  Control  - Lets you perform setup & maintenance functions (only for certain
             printer models)
  Visual Guide - Lets you launch the On-line Guide software (if it is installed)

You can also display the Printer Properties dialog box from within a software
application by clicking on the Print item from the File menu, and then clicking
on the Properties button.  In other applications, you can click on the Printer
Setup item from the File menu and then click on the Setup button.  However, the
General and Details tabs are not available in this mode.


Accessing Help Information
==========================
From the Printer Properties dialog box, you can click on the "Help" button to
display additional information about every feature and option in the Canon
printer driver.  You can also use the Windows 95 "What's This?" method, by
using the right-mouse button to click on any item for information about that
item and its operation.  Alternatively, you can click on the question-mark (?)
symbol in the upper right corner of each dialog box, and then click on any 
item to display help for that item.  In addition, a brief one-line message
appears near the bottom of each tab to display information about each group
of selections as you move your mouse cursor over them.


Using the Print Set-up Analyzer
===============================
This printer driver includes an automatic "Print Set-up Analyzer" to help you
use your printer more efficiently.  The Print Set-up Analyzer identifies any
inconsistencies in your setup selections, and allows you to correct them if 
you wish.  By default, the Print Set-up Analyzer is enabled. You can disable
it in the Setting tab of the Printer Properties dialog box.


Hints for Color Printing
========================
If your printer is capable of printing in color and uses interchangeable ink
cartridges, be sure that a color ink cartridge is installed in the printer.
You should also select the appropriate Print Model from the Graphics tab in
the Printer Properties dialog box.

1. Select the "Quick Color" or "Full Color" icon from the Color Model group
   on the Graphics tab.  The "Quick Color" mode allows you to generate good
   quality color output with fast performance.  The "Full Color" mode allows
   you to print the full color spectrum with somewhat slower performance and
   control other printing features.
2. If you selected the "Full Color" icon, select the appropriate Print Model:
   - Automatic selects the halftoning methods to produce optimum print quality
     for all types of images
   - Graphics and Text selects the halftoning methods to produce optimum print
     print quality for solid text and business graphics, with the
     emphasis on enhancing color saturation
   - Photo selects the halftoning method to produce optimum print quality for
     scanned photographs or bitmapped images 
   - Custom offers more advanced control over halftoning patterns, bit depth,
     color adjustment and intensity.  These advanced options are not intended
     for novice users of color printers.


Hints for Monochrome Printing
=============================
All Canon bubble-jet printer models are capable of printing in monochrome mode.
If your printer is also capable of printing in color and uses interchangeable
ink cartridges, you should install a black ink cartridge for better printing
efficiency.  Then use the following procedure on your computer system:

1. If you have a color printer, select the "Monochrome" icon from the Color
   Model group on the Graphics tab (this selection is not available for 
   monochrome-only printer models).
2. Select the appropriate Print Model:
   - Automatic selects the halftoning methods to produce optimum print quality
     for all types of images
   - Graphics and Text selects the halftoning methods to produce optimum print
     print quality for solid text and business graphics, with the
     emphasis on enhancing color saturation
   - Photo selects the halftoning method to produce optimum print quality for
     scanned photographs or bitmapped images
   - Custom offers more advanced control over halftoning patterns, bit depth,
     color adjustment and intensity.  These advanced options are not
     intended for novice users of color printers.


For Windows 3.0, 3.1 and 3.11
=============================
This printer driver does not support Windows versions 3.0, 3.1 and 3.11.
Please contact your local Canon company to obtain a driver for these versions
of Windows.


Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions
=======================================
1. If your printer is capable of printing in color, do not attempt to print
   in "Color" mode when a black ink cartridge is installed in your printer.
   The results will be unpredictable.

2. A known problem in Corel Mosaic Version 5.0 may cause incomplete printed
   output.  Please contact Corel Corporation for an update.

3. Color Advisor is not enabled in this BETA version of the printer driver.
   The production release of this driver will include Color Advisor.  If you 
   need to use Color Advisor, please re-install your Windows 3.1x printer drivers.
