Install the printer driver in the Easy install mode from the Setup Software & User's Guide CD-ROM and the Canon Setup Utility will also be installed automatically.

This section describes the procedures for checking the settings of the Bluetooth unit using the Canon xxxx ( "xxxx" refers to Model) Setup Utility as preparation for Bluetooth printing.
